if your plant sheds, make sure to keep it nice and humid to help them with the process, and don’t take the sheds away. they consume the sheds for nutrients!

As good as dead. The “healthy” pads are actually a ploy by big cactus to get you to buy more cactus. Don’t fall for it.Â

Yikes. Those are supposed to be solid green. I think that plant has some kind of weird disease or maybe a fungus.
Increase watering to twice weekly so it has the resources to fight off the infection.

The thing with cacti is that people think one of two things.. (if not both)
1) They think proper watering is âNot very oftenâ and that once a week is ânot very oftenâ when in reality they need to be watered like every other month or two
And/or
2) âthey only need a little bit of waterâ when in reality they actually need a good solid water as long as they drain thoroughly.
The bigger the plant the more water they can store so they can take more water but then âno waterâ for longer periods of time.
I have a tiny Thanksgiving cacti I started from 1 leaf section. It just grew its 6th one recently. It gets a couple tablespoons of water every other week ish?.. I just feel the leaves. Should feel firm.
As for this plant?⊠my guess is too much water but clearly itâs not healthy if itâs dying đđđ

The preferred term is âmoltingâ, needs neem oil to make the process less painful for the poor thing, rub in gently but firmly
