My first (sick) peyote

[apple]

hello,
I think I need your help, Ive got absolutely no experience in growing peyote, only san pedro. When I looked at my peyote, I saw this dark-brown with black spots sort of wound. Its not bleeding or anything (not anymore). I think it started somewhere in the winter, but i havent watered him. So I don't think its rot. All my San Pedros are alright and I've treated them the same as this peyote.

- Is a peyote strong enough to outgrow his wound?

I know its hard to see on the picture but I hope you can help me. Picture:


Thanks in advance,

Apple

Goran..???? Wait for Goran to answer, he knows just about everything about cacti. Maybe even PM him. He has saved my peyotes a couple of times.. Thanks again Goran.....

I think what you should do is take it out of the soil and let the rot dry out. But I could be wrong, wait for Goran...(I'm still learning)

PEACE, hope your peyote does ok.

I try to sharp your picture, hopeless. But this can be burn from sun. Or maybe new sprout. Sorry I can't see what is wrong clearly. Place another Pict and I will help you.

It looks OK to me , the brown spot sounds OK but the black spots sound like you could have a problem . How is it doing now ??? A bigger / better foto might help .

God this is not brown root lurking out of soil! When you enlarge that part of picture you can "clearly" see that green flesh turns into brown colored tissue!

Goran , i cant see anything on the picture that would worry me . Its not shriveled up , the soil is dry , it looks like it flowered last year and its got a baby on it . It looks like a Peyote at the end of winter to me . There is a dry brown patch in the middle , at the bottom , of the big one . I`ve grown and bought loads of peyote that have blemishes like that . I dont know what it is for sure ??? , i always thought that it was a wound that was drying up ???

thank you all for your replys and time.
He's actually doing very well now. The wound started to get a little 'lighter brown' and there are no more 'black spots' vissible. so I think he's going to be alright.
thank you anyway..

Check roots!!! Now is time for replanting, so you can by the way check cacti roots. I heaved similar problem and discovered rotting root! so replant cacti and inspect it.

im afraid its rot. if you see the scab it means the fungi is all through the water storage cells. treat with systemic fungicide suitable for fruit and veg. good luck
