My grandma gave me her moon cactus as she was worried for its health, I have now had the cactus for 3 months and I wanted to know if it looks healthy and happy.
-Cactus feels firm to the touch
-I rotate its pot every week or so to prevent any side from getting scorched but the sun
-I water it when the top half of soil is dry and that seems to be making it happy
-plant lives on the ledge above my sink in front of a south facing window, so it gets moderately high indirect light

It looks like you may be asking about a cactus or succulent. In addition to any advice you receive here, please consider visiting r/cactus r/succulents for more specialized care advice.
A common problem with cacti and succulents is etiolation. This is when a succulent stretches or becomes leggy. Reply with “!etiolation” for advice.

Just FYI , these are 2 cacti. The top decorative cacti is grafted onto the bottom. The top one cannot sustain as it doesn’t have chlorophyll so it needs to be attached to the rootstock host. It will die eventually, but the rootstock will survive. It just doesn’t look very cute. I have a rootstock that’s about 4 years old. My moon cactus lasted about 2 years before it died.
