I have this cactus I care about. It was given to me ,by my grandma. She passed about 3 years ago . So it means a lot to me


The buds or some part of is , is decaying it’s turning brown some parts of it . Then others it just comes off . So I’m not sure what’s happened . I water it once a week . Till it’s damp . Which might be the issue but just until the soil feels a bit wet. But the past few weeks , that one cactus has been getting worse and worse . I’m scared of its safety . Even though the other it’s next to . Seems to be fine. It is usually in half and half light wise . With half of it being in the covered side and the other being closer to the window .

    It’s overcrowded in the pot, hopefully someone has instructions on how to report your specific species. The one on the right is a r/euphorbia

    It’s also a cactus, so once a week watering is typically way too much. Are the parts that are turning brown on the mushy side?

    It’s a fairy castle cactus! It needs full sun and you’re giving it too much water.
