Is it normal for my pencil cactus to be turning yellow? Does it need more sun? Seems healthy otherwise

☆MintyHorizons☆: Alright, good luck!
Sookie: @☆MintyHorizons☆ thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I live in Canada so right now it can’t go outside but I’m hoping we have some warm weather this summer so I can put him out.
☆MintyHorizons☆: If it starts to turn brown and more brittle, then add a little more water, but just as much sunlight, if not more.
☆MintyHorizons☆: More sun is never a bad idea for a cactus. Maybe reduce water or put more time between each watering date. I live in desert, and usually a cactus can propagate even without water, so they can definitely do with a lot less than most plants. Try to leave your pencil cactus outside for a few hours on a sunny day if you can.
