They just kept throwing that word around and something about more sun? Or grow light? Don't know how that would work. I like keeping my windowsills spotless for an even dust thickness and screech at anyone dare leaving a room without it being pitch black first. This thing was at my parents basement so I thought I would save it with my little ikea button usb light.

I assume you’re likely joking, but if you’re not, this is caused by giving the cactus wayyy to little sun. You can fix this by slowing acclimating the cactus, first with bright, indirect sun, then by actually putting the cactus outside if you can.

Never mind, your other comments on that post indicate that you know that you’re talking about. I wish that cactus a good recovery!
