    Sorry you can’t save it That’s a moon cactus. Basically it’s to cacti grafted together. The moon cactus is only the red part. The green stem is most likely a dragon fruit plant.

    Yeah what ‘snazzy man’ said. It’s two plants together so when one dies it takes everything down with it Ig

    Recommending discarding plant.🪦 RIP Saving pot. Buying new plant. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 🪴

      Only problem with moon cacti is they really don’t last long at all 😭

      I think Dave the cactus man would disagree. He’s a cactus pro. But I killed my moon cacti when I put it outside in Pheonix. I opted to not try again because I realized pokey plants were not my jam. 😂

    Disinfect the pot by rinsing with hydrogen peroxide in case there is bacterial infection left from the rot. He’s gone to plant heaven 🌵😔🏜️
