Kakes!definitely under watering. the plant is compensating for lack of water by limiting its growth, that’s why the tops are skinny. make sure to throughly soak the soil at each watering session.

I guess I was being TOO careful to not over water it in the winter. If it’s fully dried out again should I water it again?

yes if the soil is dry it’s time to water. cacti can be picky but they retain water really well. just make sure that when you do water, throughly soak it. then let the excess drain.

planta isn’t always correct (i found that out the hard way). your specific climate and a million other factor will determine what each of your plants needs. these forum groups really are great for solving issues! it takes a village :)

LeafmealoneCould be underwater and lack of light. Even in my brightest window my peanut cactus never did well until I put a grow light directly above it.
