Underwatering
The fishbone cactus thrives on consistent moisture but is also quite drought-tolerant. If you notice the stems beginning to shrivel, it's a sign of underwatering. To remedy this, gradually increase watering frequency, ensuring the soil becomes moist but not waterlogged. It's crucial to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Consider using a pot with good drainage and a soil mix that retains moisture yet drains well to prevent future underwatering issues.
