Rotting Echinopsis 'Domino'

AlexisS
10 years ago

I have an Echinopsis that has a case of mealy bugs. Last night, I was looking it over, squishing mealybugs as I saw them and pulled it out of its pot to check the roots. When I pulled the potting mix away from the underside of cactus, I found a hole and dark blotches. Rot!

Can it be saved?

The cactus feels firm and I haven't watered it much this winter. I think this probably happened before I bought it this summer from a BBS. They tend to overwater in my local store.
