Zedo Posted March 9, 2017 Looks like a bigger more evolved version of what my cacti has atm. Is that the only one? Just below it there's a smaller brown dot I can see which looks exactly like mine. Are there more or similar things on it. If it's related to the problem I've got it appears it's a fungus due to over watering, or high humidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SayN Posted March 10, 2017 Whipper-snipper cord perhaps! Mine just so happens to be red... As soon as I touched it the red bit fell out - into my terracotta gravel. Gone. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderIdeal Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) It was not a scale insect? That would explain why it had a digit of extruded goop. Not that ive ever seen scale goop harden like that.... Edited March 11, 2017 by ThunderIdeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
