Cactus callousing

Post by Mobu »

So I am trying to save my baby cactus from rot, its bottom became really juicy squeezy, so I cut it, I laid it on a plate to let it callous, but there is brown spot there now, is this normal or should I cut it again? please help.

I'd wait a couple weeks before potting it up. And since winter is upon us, when you do pot it up, don't water it until spring.
