Hello :) first post because I’m at a loss. What is wrong with my bunny ear cactus? How do I get rid of this browning? It’s on both sides. :( Thank you!

If you gently poke it on the brown parts, is it hard or slightly soft? It may just be corking ☺️

Hey! It’s rough, so I suppose slightly hard?

I’ve just looked up corking and that’s what it looks like!! Thank you, I had no clue what that was!

That’s exactly how I learned what it was, too— my 7 year old Christmas cactus has formed a lot of “bark” and I was worried I was somehow killing it! The more you know 😄
