Hi there!
I don't have much (or any) experience with succulents and cacti but I received the two cacti shown here as gifts over a year ago. I water them religiously on the 1st of each month with a few drops of water (I learned my lesson after over-watering my first one). They were both fine up until a few months ago when they started bending significantly. I experienced some bending last year but they straightened up and it was not to this extent. I read that bending and stretching often occurs due to lack of sunlight so I tried moving them closer to a window and when that didn't help, I moved them to a completely different window that is south facing as I have read that in various articles. I also made sure to have the non-bent side facing the sun and they are both in drainage pots. I have also slightly increased the amount of water I am giving them but nothing seems to be helping.
Does anyone know how I can fix my poor cacti? I would rather not have to cut off any stems but I understand I may have to.
Thank you in advance!
