Hi I was just wondering if anyone knew why some of the sections of my cactus suddenly died. Two of them went yellow, soft and then just fell off. I haven’t noticed any more dead spots but I don’t want to lose anymore. Anyone know what I did wrong??

Make sure when you water that you’re taking out the plastic insert and allowing all of the water to drain out before placing it back in outer pot. Also in the winter you can cut back on watering.

How much sun does this one get?

Direct sunlight for most of the day
