Thanks for your input, I’ll take them out and repot them, I’ll find some moss like you said to put inside, I hadn’t seen the idea with a cactus before and I guess this is why
What is the issue with the soil I’m using as it’s supposed to be for cacti and succulents this is the soil I’m using

I am currently using this soil it says it is "free draining" but those seem to consist of mostly organic ... Should I get some perlite to make it even more free draining ?
I also have the same brand fertilizer which says 1.4 : 0.7 : 2.7 on the label will this work ?
Thanks for your help

Cactus and succulent repotting mix combined with perlite for the soil, pot has a single drainage hole ~1 cm in diameter with a layer of plastic mesh over it to prevent too much soil loss.
Thank you for the information. Hopefully someone else can identify the species. Does [this] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cactus-Focus-Repotting-Mix-Litre/dp/B007797622) look suitable for the soil?
Oh also, the pot that it's in doesn't have holes at the bottom, is that a problem? I'd like to have this indoors on my desk, and as such don't want stuff draining out, unless there's a solution to that.
amazon!
My current go-to mix is 1:1 of this compost: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cactus-Focus-Repotting-Mix-Litre/dp/B007797622, and perlite, which my other plants seem to enjoy. Gritty enough, or go grittier?
Thoughts on this? Also, what do you recommend for ratio. 100% of the stuff, or mixed in with garden soil?
The person who sold it to me said to not water them till February end or March. It will be repotted in some nice mix that has worked for my pony tail palm and dracaenas - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cactus-Focus-Repotting-Mix-Litre/dp/B007797622
They just do not clump together even when watered so I think it is okay, I can even mix some perlite in if you recommend. The grit is very minuscule too (maybe 1-2 mm max).
How will I recognise signs of lack of sunlight? Since the species I have do not grow too tall how will they elongate?
Thanks for the reply. So not a hell of a lot going wrong.

That's the mix I used.
Also, is there anything I can do to keep it upright naturally? I anchored it using string, but that actually seemed to make it weaker.

I just used this after reading on zamnesia that cactus mix could be used. Evidently I should have put in the work and made something a bit more suitable. The rot was there when the cactus arrived however.
True yes! I just get these pots bc their cheap and easy to store. i use cactus soil i got off Amazon, i repotted this guy when i first got him because he was in a TINY pot and was super thirsty. I use this soil! Growth Technology Ltd MDCAF2 Cactus Focus Repotting Mix 2 Litre https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007797622/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LBb4CbY7GEQP6
Edit; i cant get what you linked me bc im in uk but ill keep an eye out for them! I use miracle grow indoor plant food tho
Thanks for your advice, I'm going to start the operation this weekend!
Is there a particular type of sand/substrate you would recommend? I grabbed this from the Wiki, but would appreciate any advice you would have!
>Cacti require well-drained soil. This means a soil made of a mix of gravel, grit, sand, pearlite, or other chunky material that does not retain moisture.
> A good inexpensive and readily available base for your cacti soil is NAPA 8822 Oil Absorber. Crushed pumice, any 'high-fired' or 'calcined' diatomaceous earth or clay, or Turface is a perfect base. Any auto parts store should have a product similar to the afore mentioned NAPA 8822.
I was thinking about grabbing this from Amazon as the base soil....is there a rooting hormone or similar for cacti?
This is what I have been using.

Im in the U.K. so all are indoors and under a grow light when needed. I haven’t watered since the end of November as my flat is pretty cold. I just really don’t know what happened, haven’t had a loss in ages so really gutted!
