Hi everyone! I bought this what I think is a Roadkill Cactus in the fall and over the winter it has developed some color changes and what looks like shriveling. I follow the apps recommendations and it sits directly in front of a south facing window. Could this be from lack of water? I’m so scared to overwater in the winter 😬

I’d definitely water it!

Thanks! I’ve killed so many cacti with too much love I get nervous watering now lol

I started using a moisture meter with all my plants because I’m a chronic over-waterer! My plants are doing better as a result of that, plus feeling the soil and the weight of the pot.
