Hello im having 2 issues with my peruvian torch cacti. One is on the top of one cactus, its white speckeled dots. They kind of look like cisits. they are elevated from the cactus and are pretty small. The other issue may be rot. Its on all but one of my cacti. It involves orange and white larger spots. some areas ar enot spots and are shaped differently. They are throught the surface of the plant. They differ in color form white/cream colored to orange. What should i do to save them? Thanks
In general, if the spots and dots you are talking about are hard to the touch then there probably isn't too much to worry about, other then the cosmetic appeal of the cacti. If they are soft or mushy to the touch then you may need to perform surgery and remove them. Without pictures its hard to say for sure what it is.
yah the white crust spots are just some kind of healed gash. no big deal. a little bit of rot never hurt either. but too much rot is a sign of infection; in which case you would have to do as was mentioned above and perform cactus surgery.
