# Got these three cacti/succulents about 4-5 days ago and I am seeing…

_Posted by Ava on 2025-05-15_

Got these three cacti/succulents about 4-5 days ago and I am seeing disfiguration features in one. I last got the info it was a Hawthornia Venosa subsp tessellata from google,yeah I’m not sure that’s what it really is either. It took a photo of the plant a few days later and theres a part of it I’m worried about, I leave it in the sun with my two other cacti,that both like full sun, but plan to put it in its own pot due to the info that it’s a part sun lover, I got that from google and don’t know if it’s right, I watered this one ,along with my other cacti, 4-5 days ago,when I got them, I don’t know what to do, any help?(for clarification the tips are cut short and kinda rough and have crust) please know I just got this app and haven’t gotten to scan this plant,I made this post away from home.

Can’t tell for sure what the disfigurement is that you’re speaking of, but Haworthias do not need as much sun as your cacti. They do best with maybe some morning sun and then bright indirect light. So yes your google result is correct.

Okay grate! So should I put it in its own pot? And for the “disfigurement” I ment the crusty tips in the first photo😅 I’m scared I’m killing the poor thing, I’ve never owned one of these🥲(update now one of its leaves have folded in😭)

Should have its own pot. Sounds and look like sunburn. The damage is done and can’t be fixed. Less sun and the new growth will be good. And nothing wrong with replacing it and doing good with a new one.
