    image.jpg My cactus is dying and I am unsure of how to save it, please help. The graph is soft and lost colour and the top is going black.

    Looks like overwatering -- does the pot it is in have any drainage? And are the rocks on top glued in place (this is done sometimes)?

    A bad case of rot. It has spread throughout the plant, which unfortunately cannot be saved.
