Hello, I've had this cactus for 2 years. No idea what kind of cactus it is. It has always had a tan color along the base of the whole plant. It has always grown steady, but started to grow sideways instead of straight up, so I trimmed off a lot of the plant.
When I put the plant back outside for the Spring and Summer it started growing like crazy. I don't know the technical term, but there are little, purple buds sprouting out everywhere. It looks very cool. Is the tan color at the base a concern? I don't want this plant to take off, just to die from unhealthy roots or some other ailment.
