brown/black areoles at the top

Post by widea »

Recently after a lot of rain I noticed these brown/black areoles at the top of this Trichocereus pachanoi:

Is this normal growth or should I worry?

Doesn't look fatal. The rest of the plant isn't a pretty colour though ...

Thank you.

I agree. I bought it like this. The lighter green color is new growth after I put it outside in May. It is very slow to start growing.
