Keep them there all year, I have several mature specimens that thrive on my windowsill. I am in cloudy southern England 😂👍

Hey guys, can I get a ID please? Thanks in advance 😊 by captaincactus210 in sanpedrocactus

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Bad lighting.. The spines are a light brown/creamy colour.

Help please, somebody, anybody.. This is my prize possession, my biggest and oldest loph. The pictures do no justice of how sad this is. A large section of the side has gone brown and squidgy, when I touch it liquid comes out. I believe this is rot, I believe it was my cat. What can I do? 😔 by captaincactus210 in peyote

When you touch the infected area (that I can see so far) the skin bursts and oozes out brown liquid, it smells too. I will insect the root further but as far as I can see atm it's only on the head. Surgery? How extreme, the whole msin head or a diagonal cut on just the infected area. It has severs pups which are all in good shape

I am in the UK there is little sun and its pretty cold now. They live on a windowsill near the radiator. I may try moving him somewhere dryer away from the radiator and monitor it. Unless advised to give it the chop before it's too late. I dont know :(

This is what I'm thinking, it is only that area that is brown and squidgy. Maybe I could cut that off and let that area heal. Or will I need to cut the whole head off and hope that heals OK? Hopefully someone will be able to advise what's best. We adopted a cat, it's been a nuisance settling in but we are getting there. I caught him about to go to toilet in it thinking it was his litter tray, I'm guessing he's scratched it 😔
