I purchased two cactus cuttings, which were very nice. The Mexican fence post, Catus, has a few black spots which I'm concerned. about. Can you reassure me that this is not a fungus or rot. Dave Wesley Franklin WI.

The product was great and shipped well and very fast, After one week, I start noticing small roots growing. It should take 2 more weeks to start seeing a new shoot. I already place 2 orders and will more likely order more. Thank you.
