Identification: Please help me identify this cactus?

  1. Hi,

    Could anyone please help me in identifying this cactus? I just repotted it to a bigger pot, but could anyone tell me why it's drooping? I'm quite concerned for this plant.

    Sorry, don't know what species.

    The soil in the pot looks to me as though it is too wet - overwatering is perhaps the most likely cause of the problem. Cacti like to be kept on the dry side, and in a well-drained sandy/gravelly mix (no peat).

    This cactus doesn't like plastic pots or cealed clay pots at all it likes to be moist then dry and doesn't want wet feet at all.
