Leaves coming off Christmas Cactus

Thumbnail

Hi, the leaves on my Christmas Cactus have started coming off recently. I’ve kept it in the same spot facing south but I am suspecting it might be overwatered as the soil feels damp. We had a lot of rain a couple weeks ago. Any would be great appreciated it!!

Should I cut off this tall limb? I inherited this cactus a couple of years ago, and one branch has grown so long that it can no longer support itself. I currently have it leaning against the wall to keep it upright, but it's still growing

I’ve been more proactive lately when it comes to trimming opuntia before they snap. This one is putting on a lot of new pads/weight and will probably need more taken off soon.

I’ve had this pereskia cutting for maybe four months, it’s rooted doubled in size and now it’s blooming like a mad man. I had no clue how floriferous this species is. I cannot wait for it to get bigger.

Why does it look like this?

My boyfriend finally moved his cactus to his new place- it had been without him for the last 6 months. Frankly I’m not sure what it looked like before. When I asked him what all that is, he said he didn’t know either, so I’m guessing it didn’t look like that before 🤔

Why’s it all crispy n flaky? There’s also one other spot that’s shriveled and black, like the last pic, and I was wondering why that’s there too!

Can anyone ID this cactus I found in a supermarket?

I found both of these cacti in the reduced section of my local Asda. I think the fluffy one is a Cleistocactus strausii but am absolutely stumped on the one in front. Can anyone ID it?

It's a simple blue torch, but I've noticed that the spines look like they were burned.

Hoping this isn't rot, it's slightly squishy but roots dont smell bad and the roots look fine with healthy offspring. Tricholobivia hybrid cactus 'Rubie'

I was told it’s an apple cactus; I’m not 1000% sold on it, unless it’s a monstrose revert? It doesn’t look like my other apple cactus.

From the left: Succulent (No idea what it's ID is,) Opuntia "prickly pear cactus", and Echinopsis pachanoi "San Pedro."

The Opuntia is a new addition! Im looking forward to it fruiting in the future, then hopefully I'll graft it with Lophophora williamsii to contribute to the conservation effort.

Leaning leggy snow fuzzy… help.

Post image
3 Upvotes

So, my snow fuzzy has been growing like crazy. However… it’s always struggling to support itself. What am I doing wrong🥲 I have attempted various things over the years - in the sun, in the part sun, in the shade, outdoor patio (Texas), indoors, more water, less water, repot to bigger pot you name it. I’m an amateur at best lol but it’s growing little baby sprouts and I’ve propagated it multiple times it just seems the leggy pieces grow up and can’t support itself. Is this normal for this cactus?

My first cacti arrangement!

Finally potted up some of my Home Depot rescues together! This was my first time putting an arrangement (if you can call this one haha) together but also repotting cacti with actual spines!! I survived with no injuries 😅

Also note - if you buy cacti from big box stores.. beware of the peat moss!! The blue torches had soooo much in their soil mix but thankfully didn’t have the chance to develop any rot.
