posted a few days ago about a cactus that was sadly dead however in a bid to save the others such a fate I repotted them all today. However upon inspection this little guy ( I believe it is a MATUCANA WEBERBAUERI) seemed to have a lot of fluff going on at the top. Fearing mealy bug I gently dusted off the fluffy with a cotton bud only to discover a hole underneath about a centimeter wide and half a centimeter deep. Not sure how clear the picture is. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it ive driven myself mad getting the materials and making the new potting mix so these little ones can live I don't want to loose anymore.
