off course, some issues with uploading :( Here is the split

Nice froggy, or maybe a toad?

Is the split one a goner?

Like you, held off on watering since we had reporting that rain was coming. I didn't move anything under cover. So far so good. You had an awful lot at once. Here in SoCal we had several hours of gentle rain, nothing like what you got.

Yup, scarred for life. You can see that it happened in steps and in the middle, the split has dried out already while the top part is still green and happened just before I took the shot. Should be OK if no microbial infection occurs.

The scarring or whatever occurs will just be evidence of the cactus’s life story.

Indeed, and I am hoping that many pups will pop up along the fault. Probably wishful thinking but that would give it even more character.

Alain, I'm sure you know, but if there is a chance for infection, pack the wound full of flowers of sulfur (sulfur powder) and try to keep it dry (even though it's your rainy season). It would be excellent if the lateral cephalium decided to grow there.

It's all dry now :), let see what happens next...
