Sad day!

[user_1919]

So I was just going to touch my little 3 year old peyote, and a very gentle touch turned into me squashing the little peyote, and spilling its guts. Something was wrong with the cactus. It was way to fragile to be bursting from such a gentle touch. The roots were pretty much drained of all liquid and material. The other peyote in the pot looks healthy and strong. I am wondering if anyone knows why this happened, or what caused it. The peyote was sun burnt very badly about a year ago. It seems to recover, and sprouted new green, but apparently it was not healthy... any information would be greatly appreciated.

peace, love, light & unity!

That's sad indeed.
Maybe it's was rotting.
I am not an expert on peyote.

The Peyote was rotten, and the internal tissues become brown and fluid.
Mostly caused by an infection of the roots, by freezing, or by cooking in too high temperatures (> 60-65 degrees Celsius).
