tizocAu Posted April 19, 2013 Hi iam a little worried about this cactus. I got this one in the same nursery I got the sick pachanoi monstrose that had rot, that I posted in the id thread. I reckon they were all in the same freezing conditions. But unlike the otger one thus one had pups and wasnt squishy but still projected the orange scabbing like features. Should I be worried ?? Its not soft its rather hard I dont wanna make the mistake and not treat it when I had the time. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted April 19, 2013 Could be sunburn, lack of water/nutrients or spidermites. Would do a few things. Check for spidermites and check the roots for mealies. Repot and fertilize. Soiltype looks good...choose the same one again. And give enough water in the future. The new pups dont look unhealthy per se so i think this is more of an aesthetic problem than a real one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert&Ernie Posted April 19, 2013 just looks like scarring/sunburn to me could be as EG said spidermites or root mealies or lack of nutrients... to be honest though it all looks fine and pretty healthy specimen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
