# Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly)…

_Francesca님이 2024-05-09에 게시함_

Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly) astrophytum/goats head cactus from a friend. He didn’t have the time to try and save him and wanted to see if I could give it a shot. Now I am not an expert by any means but I used Dr Planta to diagnose it and it thinks it’s scales (EEK). What do you guys think?

Did I just endanger the rest of my plants by bringing this one into the home? If so, how do I make sure they don’t get scales??

I tried to see if I could pull any of the reddish bits off and they don’t budge so I am hoping it is edema/discoloration. I don’t see any moving pests on there either.

HELP
