Hi guys! I recently repotted this cactus in a cacti soil. It was in a much smaller pot. I hope this pot is not too big, I wanted enough space for growth of all of them.
It's struggling for a while, I am not sure what exactly the issue is. The climate here is also not the best for cactus, it's mild continental climate. During the winter I bring them inside the building hall, where they have barely any light.
Do you think it will be better to separate those 4 dudes, since 2 of them are kinda more sick?
I would appreciate any advice

The soil is way too organic. It’s generally recommended to have around 50% inorganic material like perlite, pumice, grit etc. Store bought “cactus soil” is almost always too organic, and that looks 100% organic. The soil will retain too much water and cause rot and other issues.
Your cactus are rotting from being in such organic soil. Unfortunately it looks like it will be too late to save any of them.
