Lots of orange lumps and bumps on my cacti
Lots of orange lumps and bumps on my cacti
Greetings! I’m hoping to be able to figure out how to post photos here of my cacti. I’ve been trying for a couple months to diagnose what is wrong and this will be the first time I post photos for anyone to see. I think the pictures will be self explanatory with the added info that these are patio cacti in a hot humid climate. Thank you in advance for any help. If it looks like fungus, am I facing getting rid of Them? It’s 3 cacti in two separate pots….

Thank you so much for your reply and info! I looked at the link about edema and for me that is better news than a fungal infection. I will be working to correct the environmental factors and be extra cautious about watering them and hopefully they will improve! Thanks again!!
