Hey! Iām very new to plants and I just bought some cactuses. I bought the one shown in the photo and it seems dead at the bottom (was there when I bought it) is it healthy? How should I care for it?

Itās not dead, just calloused. Itās not soft to the touch, right? I wouldnāt change anything at this point. Follow the Planta reminders š

As long as itās still firm and not mushy or soft you should fine. IMO Looks like that part may have been covered by soil at some point. Iāve seen many cacti look like that
