Hello,
I recently bought a young golden barrel cactus in a local garden centre, and because they planted it in a full peat soil (*facepalm*), I bought some well draining cactus soil with it.
When I pulled it out of the pot, I was shocked. I swear there was more water than soil in it, and the base of the cactus had already began rotting. I left it out to dry for a day now.
Is there a way to save it without having to cut the base off and reroot it? It's such a beautiful cactus and I don't want to mutilate the poor thing. But if it's absolutely necessary I will.
Thanks in advance!
