# I was given this nipple cactus because the previous owner didn’t want…

I was given this nipple cactus because the previous owner didn’t want it and hadn’t taken great care of it. I was going to try to bring it back to health, but I’m unsure of it’s worth it. It’s really dried up, I’ve repotted it and watered it, and I put it in my window but I’m not sure if it’ll get up to good health or if it’s kind of just dead.

For comparison the same species of cactus I’ve been caring for is in the white pot.

Unfortunately it looks like it's toast 😕

It's very Noble of you to want to save it but you already have one! And how much better to spend time on something more beautiful!
