Hello everyone! A few months ago a family member gifted me this beautiful cactus from a plant shop however I’ve noticed the leaves have turned an orange and a few have died. I’m not sure where to start as I am new in plant care and I really want to keep my cactus alive since the original owner said it’s about 20 years old. Here are some photos, hopefully this is enough information for you.
I think the orange could be sun stress. If you google sun stress in cacti you’ll find some helpful info.
