Hello everyone! So I have this beautiful fishbone cactus and it’s showing some sports where it appears greyish. Does anyone has any idea of what this is or how to fix it? Thank you. ☺️🌷

Huh that’s odd that it’s growing so narrow like that. I haven’t seen that in my fishbone, but then again I’ve only had mine for a few months so far. As far as the greyish color, is it getting really intense light? It could have gotten a tad burned maybe

It’s growing like that because it’s etiolated from insufficient light.
