Echinocereus concern

[ocelot]

I've got a E. reichenbachii that I'm concerned about but I dont have a photo. Some of the areoles have brownish spots and when I press against it it feels squishy. I do water it carefully but its late autumn where I am. I know that I should be giving it a rest but I water occassionally to ensure that the plant doesn't loose it's roots. I'm a little paranoid that I'll loose this one.

Already lost its roots by the sound of it ...

I've also seen areas that look watery, which prompts me to think overwatering. This one might be off to an early grave but I hope not.

yes, sounds to me without a picture of course that it lost it's roots already

I've tried to water it a couple of days back, we'll see what happens. I'm prepared to expect anything.
