Hello there!

My friends are moving and giving away their plants; a couple weeks back, they gave me one of their cacti. It had these round spots already, but they seem to have spread further since the cactus moved to my place. The base has also gotten darker, and there’s something like a crack visible at the base (see last photo). What’s going on here/ can I save it? Not long before that, I had another cactus rot and die on me, I don’t like how this streak is starting to form :^ D

I’m not sure what kind of soil is in the pot. It’s been 4 weeks since I got it; I watered it, very lightly, only twice. It originally came in a small ceramic pots with no holes, and a few days ago I took it out of the pot to see if that makes a difference.

Advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Open to feedback! My second print in a long time :^)
