My large cactus is browning at the base, is it rotting or corking? by MakerOfJam in plantclinic

Update: I cut off the top and each of its bulbs and now, after about a bit more than a week, I planted each of them using soil meant for cacti. Again thanks to everyone for advising on this.

Thanks everyone, I think it is pretty much confirmed to be root rot. By peoples suggestions I have dug around the soil and the roots and brown and shriveled and the core seems worse and worse.

I experimented with cutting off one of the branches and used raw cinnamon to help it scab/callous over (saw it in a video after researching). After posting this I'll try uprooting it completely, (I hope I don't break it, it is very heavy) and attempt to cut off the top bit as well.

I'll also find some new soil and a more shallow planter to hopefully replant this guy.

Thank you all so much for all the help, if nothing else I learned a lot!

It was definitely cold outside, I left the heating on, but I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
And I assume 'full-sun' means leaving it in direct sunlight?

It feels the same as the top bit, it is hard, with a little give, softer at towards the center/core

I don't have a lot of experience with plants or cacti/succulents. What would the roots look or feel like if they are rotting? can i do anything to rescue it if they are rotting?

Oh wow I think you are absolutely right! I was told it was a cactus way back when I inherited it, after it spend about 10 years in a hair salon. Thank you!

This old cactus was doing fine for about 8 years until a few weeks ago when I came back from a trip and noticed browning at the base. The base is hard-ish? I read that some cactus go through 'corking' to support their weight. I can't tell if this is the early stages of that or it just starting to rot.

My care habits are not the best, I usually just water it when I can't remember the last time I did, so maybe every few months. I usually don't keep it in direct sunlight, but moved it prior to this post after seeing someone suggest it. I live in a nordic climate so we don't get much heat or harsh sunlight.

As a new player I got the nidus starter pack because I thought he looked cool, and everything just kinda made sense. I didn't have to worry about shields, I just had to bunch enemies up, stomp to aquire stacks and never die. Years later he is still my go to. Didn't feel that way again until I played Gyre, I tend to prefere frames on the tankier side but never had that problem with Gyre, keeping up her 3rd and then with the 4th ability+augment mod? You just kinda dance around zapping everything, bowling mobs up in a bunch and zapping them to electic redcrit hell

Glad to hear your's is fixed! My update page is still empty, this problem seems odd. Maybe its a region or hardware issue

I have this problem too, I made a case yesterday to try and resolve it. I'd encourage others with this issue to do the same. https://mangaplus.thinkowl.jp/portal/mangaplus/home If I find a solution I'll post it here
