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?
