What do you think, sunburn or root rot? I saw it too late, but I am curious because I want to prevent it in te future. I am really sad about it because it is a cactus which I own for a really long time. #CactusClique

Not sure if this is a pest or if it got burned being in an east-facing window this summer. I did a Neem oil spray a few days ago to be safe. #HedgeCactus
