# I'm not really a Cactus person. I have no idea what's going on with…

_Posted by Darlene on 2026-08-17_

I'm not really a Cactus person. I have no idea what's going on with this baby. The center is supposed to be red, it's now a pale pink. Is it too late to save it? It gets filtered light and I let it completely dry out between waterings. I would appreciate any insight on how to get it healthy and keep it that way. Ty.
