I’m not sure what’s happening to my cactus. It sits in a window and has grown like crazy. But now it’s wilting/drooping. I haven’t changed anything as far as watering, fertilizer or placement. Thanks!

Is it cold where you are? If its in a window it might be reacting to that. Sometimes drooping is from overwatering too

NC, has been cold’ish. Do you know if it will come back?

As long as there is no rot, it should. You may want to unpot it, just to check. If that pot has no drainage, the water may have gotten to high for it
