# Does anyone know what’s wrong with my mom’s cactus? I think it may be…

_Posted by Tina on 2024-08-03_

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my mom’s cactus? I think it may be root rot but I’m not sure… she’s given full sun and we make sure to let her dry out completely before watering (it’s raining which is why she’s up against the house!)

It could possibly be sun scorching (or whatever you may call it). Im not sure exactly what type of cactus it is, but some cacti do only like partial sun.
