Kaktus said:Hi I am from Indonesia, started to like cactus since last year, I have many questions about cactus and need assistance from the members of the forum, this is my fist post.

Can we put artificial color on cactus? I bought this cactus a couple months ago, it came with a very nice purple color, but now the cactus become green, I checked with the seller, he said it is because the cactus does not have enough sunlight, but I have made this cactus to have direct sunlight for 5 to 6 hours per day, at noon time the temperature even reached up to 38 celcius, is it possible that the seller has put some coloring on the cactus? But the color looks so natural, please see the pictures as reference, the green color is the current situation... also need to know the ID of the cactus.

Thanks a lot..

there was not coloring. It is "stress". When succulents get stressed, they can change colors!
