Cactus yellowing
6 years ago
My cactus has been yellowing from the base up on one side for several months. I don’t think it was overwatered and the yellow area does not feel soft or mushy and the spines there hold on well. Any ideas of what’s happening? (First photo is problem, second is other side that is normal)
