Cactus turned black and got skinny. I don’t even know what cactus it is, it was just given to me. Dr planta is saying it could be any number of things.

It needs more light probably. If the skinny portion isn't new growth, it also needs a bit more water.. like a touch more
좋아요 1개The I’ve also been told overwatered.

3개 좋아요I think it’s under watered. Black and wrinkly with dry soil is under watered. Overwatered it would become yellow and have extremely wet soil.
0개 좋아요The black top and lighter green bottom suggest stress, inconsistent watering, and possible climate shock. Check for any signs of rot. Cacti don’t need excessive watering — let the soil fully dry out between waterings. Once stable and growing again, you can fertilize lightly to support recover
