Can you share more about the circumstances? How often watering, is there a smell, how much light does it get etc

#### Bobmarlieさんが2024-02-22に返信しました

It’s under grow lights 12hr a day, I actually just bought the plant a month ago and unfortunately it did already have this. But I water my cacti about once a month

And it doesn’t smell

#### Pさんが2024-02-22に返信しました

That is hopeful. I would have a look at the roots and see if they are still healthy, it looks like the bottom half is a goner at first glance unfortunately if it’s overwatering

You can cut the good part on top off and put in dry soil. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong :) but I’ve had success with it.
