These bright red dots appeared on my grafted night blooming cereus. Anyone know what they are? The head of it also looks weird. I don't know if it's pollen like dandelions or something like that. (On the head)

Not sure about the top of it but the spots kind of look like rust fungus. It may need to be treated with a copper or sulfur fungicide.
