Etiolation help

Post by dpcac18 »

I was excited about the new growth initially as I did not know much about cacti, but now realizing that I may have repotted into too large of a pot a while back and the growth seems to be etiolation. I am planning on getting some grow lights to help assist, but any suggestions/tips on how best to get my cactus back on track is much appreciated! Should I trim (and where?).

The pot size is okay, it just needs more light. The skinny etiolated part needs to be pruned off.
