I had one in a pot and our rotweiler puppy dog started chewing it. He was fine though i didnt need to take him to the vet.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry 😀 Good luck getting yours to flower!

We’re happy you enjoyed our article! Stay tuned for more interesting articles about other amazing plants and useful gardening equipment 😉

I wouldn’t worry about someone eating this without intention..and if I would be a dog, a drive to the vet sounds like an absolute horror trip!
If your dog ate it still, take care of a nice setting, toys around, some calm sitar music, a blanket, strokes and let him hear your voice if he seems scared 😉

I’ll hope to get mine flowering this year! Also got one crystata variation which I like very much.
Nice blog!
Thank’s and Regards

Hello!

It is a bit difficult to identify your issue without seeing a picture of your cactus, but in most cases, discoloration happens because of too much moisture, freezing temperatures, and excessive fertilization. Root rot is a very common issue among cactus growers and saving a plant that’s severely affected is pretty much impossible.
If you’re not dealing with root rot and you suspect that it’s a fungus or a viral infection, it’s best to contact a cactus expert in your area so that they can take a look at your plant.

Wishing you the best of luck,

I have a very tall Echinopsis Pachanoi, and it has sections where a light colored circular ring like discoloration is prevalent all over about a foot of the cactus. I don’t know if this is a fungus? Or what else it might be. Can you help me identify it?

Hi! The San Pedro Cactus is rich in Mescaline so it should be kept away from children and pets. If you’re worried about something your dog ate, it’s best to take him to the vet.
