Hello,

Thank you so much for all your earlier advice, I have been regularly watering the Optunia and it seems to be retaining the water now for several days which is great. Only it doesn't seem to have perked up at all, and I wonder if this may be because it has been drooped for so long, perhaps it isn't able to perk up again?

It has been receiving a lot more sun lately, and it has started sprouting some new growth on the upward-facing side of the drooped pads, and I just noticed this morning what appears to be almost root-like white spikes appearing from the underside of the drooped pads (I've tried to capture these in the photos).

Would you have any thoughts around whether you think it may still be able to resurrect again?
Do you think I need to increase the watering to be every second day or so?
