Is this a San pedro? I wonder if you could cover the tips I think the tips are the most vulnerable part if there was a way to put Styrofoam cups on the tips or something of that nature possibly 😩🥴🤷‍♀️

Maybe cover the rest with a cloth tarp? I don't know 😩💔🌵

We cut off the mushy parts and put a bed sheet over it until it warms up, hoping for the best!
