Hey all,
I have these three cacti in my bathroom that I bought over the summer, simply because I like cacti. I've noticed that some of the needles on my big round one have been turning a darker brown, and my long green one with a big orange bulb on top has had the bulb turn more of a reddish color. Now, I don't know much about cacti, I'm not sure what the species are, and Google hasn't been much help either. I'm wondering if this is just a normal stage in a cactus' life, to kind of die in the winter season like evergreen trees do, or if it's something I've been doing?
I am supposed to leave them in natural light, and I've had them on my windowsill until the past week when I put them in my bathroom which has a sunroof. I've also been giving them water whenever the soil is dry (about every 2 or 3 days), which has been tap water. My guess is that either a) this is normal for cacti in this season, b) the tap water is horrid, or c) the sunroof isn't providing enough "natural light".
Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks,
