# Hi all! I need advice :( my spring cactus was doing really well until…

_Posted by Dallas on 2024-04-12_

Hi all! I need advice :( my spring cactus was doing really well until my cat knocked the pot off the shelf. I removed the damaged pieces and re-potted it, but it’s not looking so hot. What else can I do to help it? Before and after photos for reference

Oh no!!! How long has it been since it was knocked off shelf?

It may just need more time to recover from the stress

It’s been maybe 3-4 days

Nothing to do but wait! I’m betting it will be ok in the long run! 😁
