Alright guys so I may have forgotten I had this cactus arrangement. How do I save it? Do I just need to remember to water a few times and go from there or where would be a good place to start. Can it be saved?

I also think it looks maybe dead (dried out) but it might become clearer if you add a little water - living plants often get a bit greener with water and dead just looks like wet straw. I’m not totally sure with cacti but it’s very telling for air plants and orchid roots!
