but sun problems turn the cactus yellow (underexposure) or red (overexposure), right ?
i dont know how long the cactus is grafted. i just got the cactus a week.
when i buyd it was the bottom very wet. and it had light but not fulle sunlight at his old standing room. So changest the ground wiht new ground special for cactus and made it a litle bit wet. and put it home next to a windo if it is good, suny wether i place it outside in the sun.
what are my next steps?
-more water?
-less water?
-more direct sunlight?
-indirect sunlight?
i dont wont to lose my peyote!

you should never overwater a cactus. they can live without water, but they can't live with too much water.
imho, it's water shortage. don't water it for a few days and keep that peyote in one place, don't move it around!!! this is very important. keep it in the same place, with indirect sunlight. if it starts to go yellow, move it a bit more into the sunlight, but NEVER, i repeat...NEVER put a peyote that you don't know where it's been into direct sunlight. check your humidity levels (from my calculations, they love it at 60-70% rh) and your temperature (between 20-30ºC) and everything should be OK. direct sunlight can burn them, and so moving them around at your will. stress can kill a plant like goran hsrak said once, and he is absolutely right. moving them around creates stress, and as you may know, there's no psychologist for them yet. keep them in one place.
if i were you, i wouldn't water them for a week, and see if the wrikles go away. if they don't, water them from below (do you know how to do this?). the wrinkles should dissapear in 1 or 2 days (don't know if a grafted cactus will respond the same way). if they don't dissapear, it is not a water problem, it is something that possibly went wrong. maybe the grafting was badly done, maybe the cactus has disease or something, i don't know, i can only speculate.
i hope this helps...

perhaps the grafting is badly done or damaged when it was transported so the peyote does not get enough water. looks like my peyote does after winter (they now look good again) every winter when I do not water them they get a bit wrinkeld and after I start watering the wrinkles disapear in a few days.
My peyote is now standing next to a window with light but no direct sunlight
for 2 days.
with the bottom of a cut waterbotle fore humidity.
It still gots rinkels but the softy skin is hardingup
i hope its oke now!
i shall waite a few days more to cheer.
by the way tomorow i got my first san pedro cutings
I dont know ho many and how big they are. But if i got more than tree i think im
gone eat one cutting. i know noting about how mutch a need to eat?
1cm, 2cm, 35cm ,...

i'm glad the little guy is on track. be aware of the humidity, though. too much water or too much humidity will burst the skin cells. but i guess from that pic that he needed water desperatly. my advice is when the cactus looks ok, remove that dome that you used. can you post more pics of it, just to see if there's any improvement ?
don't forget to water when the soil has dried. use a toothpick to check the soil humidity!

i removed the humiditycap. i think ist strong enough now :wink: !
The rinkels are stil there but its nice and hard now.
the soil is getting dry so im gone gif them water one of this days.
Hope that the skin get tighter.
i will sent new foto's when you see the change.
I got picturs from the rest of my plants.
I got this colection in 2 weeks time! I studie horticulture at school so its not so hard to get your hand on it!!

2 of my peyotes are/were sick too, because of sunburn they had developed a thick brown burned crust, this happend last year. but now the crust is breaking and new green tisue is developing under it it never stops to amaze me howmuch live force these little buggers have

For everyone: don't water the grafted cacti in way that you will simulate rain. Water should and must only be in soil, water on grafter makes grafter loose from grafting body. And watering meaning lots of water(every second day at temp. 20++) is good and stimulating. Cacti will grow in body weight and at dawn that body will be overflowed with alkaloids. Little water is good only for young cacti and for cacti that will be grown for decoration. And bout the sun?? When you do not 'fry it' you will wait year or two more to see yours cacti flowering. This is not theory-see it-try it and still live with it.
