Went outside today and my beautiful cactus basically fell over. We had a cold night, low of like 48 degrees but I didn’t think that would be too cold for it. Any ideas what happened and if it’s salvageable? Below are the before and after pictures.

It might have been an animal or wind it could also have been something that fell like ice or snow perhaps even a branch or stick.hope this helps

Thank you. I live in Florida so it could’ve been an animal or branch but not snow or ice. 😁🌞
