Hi there,
I have this cactus that I got from my mom in November and for the first few months it looked great, I even got it to bloom again in January! But then all of a sudden half of the plant started drooping, the leaves got mushy and wrinkled and the flower just dropped. I tried to move it out of direct sunlight as I thought it might be drying out and I tried to change up my watering schedule but I wasn't sure if it was over or under watered. I usually water once a week on Sunday. Eventually I ended up cutting that half of the plant off and saving a few leaves to propagate. I took the healthy half, grabbed a new pot and fresh cactus soil and replanted it. It seemed ok for a week or two but now it is showing the same signs, mushy wrinkled wilted leaves, as the last one. I really would like to try and save this as it was taken from one of my grandmas plants. Please help!
