It is a little disheartening to see when one of my columnar-like cacti keeps getting rotten at the base Sad So just had to keep chopping off the awful part..now down to this small one...it was that last soaking week long storms we had two weeks ago that made it buckle again.

At least it seems to be a fighter..calluses easily after being chopped off..I hope this is the last of it! Rolling my eyes.

The other bigger cacti is also showing some rotting, but seems to be recovering much better, but the scarring is so visible..

I think I will try and repot to its own smaller container, making it an inner pot within the bigger one, so it will not hold too much water.
