# Help! My rainbow hedgehog cactus has started turning a yellow brown…

_Geplaatst door M. East op 2023-09-02_

Help! My rainbow hedgehog cactus has started turning a yellow brown color and I’m not sure what to do to resuscitate it. It’s been perfectly healthy until a week or so ago. Does it possibly need less water/repotted? I’ve done some research but not sure where to go from here.

Make sure it has direct sun like a lot of direct sun, and water about every 10 or so days! Cacti also have large roots often so it may need to be repotted

I agree with previous comment. Looks too big for the pot. Move it up, give it a drink, and make sure it has tons of light. I keep all my cacti under grow lights inside because I live in the great white north. It’s either raining, cloudy, too shady, or too cold. Lol. Good luck! I bet it’ll feel better in a bigger room.
