Heartbroken rn, just got this gorgeous dinosaur back cactus, but when I brought it home I’m now seeing a couple orange spots! Does this look like rust to you guys too? 😭

If it is just use the rust fungicide stuff (im so sorry i forgot what it was called.)

They’re such tiny little spots but I’m all paranoid after dealing with it before and having to take a huge chunk out of my poor cactus. Though I’ll miss that pretty blue farina 🥲
