The mammalian looks like it would fit better in the white pot you had soil in. I have this cactus and it does bend sideways even when I staked it up early on.
I'm new to cactus and succulents. I thought putting rocks 6:12 around the plants on top of soil causes them to hod onto moisture to ong and rot the plant? Thank you
It can happen. But here in Northern California we have very low humidity and everything dries out very quickly. I’ve never had an issue with rot due to the top dressing.
