Pests on the cactus?
I've had my cactus for about half a year and the crusty growth on the stem has been there for a while so I didn't think anything of it, but today I noticed spotty growth on the tips and it looks as if it's dying. It can't be from overwatering because I take close care with it. I repotted my cactus about a week ago, is that the cause? Although I've repotted several cacti I have using the soil and they look healthy. I don't know what's causing it and I'm worried about the crusty growth on the stem. Can I scrape it off? But I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be or if it would be harmful. I urgently need help!

It started with me too, and at some point the “dust” was very soft…
It was probably too many giessen (?)
I leave the care of the flowers to my wife, who has a much greener thumb than I…
But thanks to casting it can’t lie
This is the natural woodwork. Don’t worry.
Take a match and see if Laeuse can be rubbed off or if it is normal life phenomena – upper area. Q-tips then go well for more.
The lower brown spots are normal Lebebs appearance
Is rubbing off, but it looks as if the surface goes off, so the white spots do not act superficially
If they are not flattened, “then they are part of the plant,” not shamefully, continue to observe. Non-absorbed, open wounds may cause consequential problems, e.g.
Can you ask me…
Thank you I see how it develops
These are normal aging processes. The trunk is wooded from below. If you don’t like it, you can cut off and root a leaf from the opuntie.
And the spots on the “tips”?
That’s what happens. Sometimes leaves simply die completely or partially. You can cut off these leaves. Don’t worry. As a rule, opuntia grow quite well.
It’s not that wild. Opuntia are very tough. If you don’t cut anything off, they won’t look good any more.
