Hi all,

My gray ghost organ pipe is about a year and a half old. It hasn't grown much since I got it, but I'm worried at the moment about these little brown spots appearing on it. Could anyone tell me what these are/what I'm doing wrong? I'm a bit of a newbie with plants. For reference I'm in the U.K. and we're still in winter, so I've been watering once every two weeks and it's planted in a super free draining mix.

Pic of the Plant itself and then A couple of of the spots I'm talking about!

Any help appreciated and any thoughts on growth a bonus!

I got a better one - why are most of its spines and areoles missing?

Sadly it was damaged when I moved home :(. It has a couple remaining but obviously they now won't grow back. Just trying to keep it as healthy as I can even though it's without its spikes!

I would suggest you stop watering. Every two weeks seems like a lot of water in winter in the UK.
