Cactus problem

Post by Andreea1198 »

Hey guys, so I bought some cacti about two weeks ago, i repotted them, waited like 6 days after watering, when I noticed one of them wasn't looking good at the base. :( I searched the internet and there was said that wrinkly cactuses need more water. I watered it thoroughly two times since then, but it looks the same to me... Any ideas how can I fix it? Thank you! :D

Hold your horses there, cowboy! Give it a month to settle down, then try again. Meanwhile, make sure it isn't sitting in soggy soil with roots that aren't working yet.

Just for the record, watering three times a week is too much. Three times a month maybe, but maybe not even that often with an indoor plant in a fairly large pot. You'll have to judge by how the plant looks and how long the pot takes to dry out.

Find the sunniest spot you can, especially if winter is coming.
