  • Hmmmm. Sounds like cactucide.
  • Sounds like they didn't have good drainage and that they were too wet. They love full sun but they like it dry. No standing water at any time. They store all their water inside. I have even not watered cactus that was in partial sun for months and they were in better shape than the freely watered. Water is not their friend.
  • Yeah, I thought I had a lot of dead cacti{sp} but someone explained that they were dormant for almost a yr. Came back really nice after some rain.
  • You burned it, cacti need time to develop tolerance to strong light. If you move them from a poorly lit spot into full sun, you'll sunburn them. This leaves the area open to infection. Sounds like that what happened to yours. Hm...I wonder if aloes can get sunburned..that'd be ironic
