If you're talking about San Pedro this is not a good thing to hear. They shouldn't go flaccid() like that and it's an indication something is not right.
Are they getting soft and squishy?
Pictures are needed if you want to save them.

looks very trippy, has it been getting enough sunlight, it looks a little etoilated (thin stretched growth searching for more light) other than that looks mad, id be tempted to let it grow just to see how crazy it would look once huge but as it reached over the pot it would be hogging sun space my other children would want

I see, thanks for checkin it out!
ALSO:
UPDATE on that bigger san pedro:
I chopped off the black spot, and all that was left was fresh green on the top, but now it seems to be trying to have a brownish color forming from the inside..
Is die back trying to form again? I'm getting a little worried

Is it in an area with moving air? If the air is still it can lead to rot, a moving air current will help the callus form quicker
How far north are you, are you still in dormancy with it?? If yes give it some liquid and start the new growing season

Hmm that could be the case, I've brought it inside, and the area it's in might not have much circulated air at times. I think I'll just chop the part that is turning brown/black and then keep it outside for the sun, and see how that goes.

I'm not too far north, and not too far south, i'm more in the middle.
The sun has been shining, and temps have been getting higher lately, but night times may be too cold for san pedro. The weather has been iffy lately, but it seems like it's about time for it to be outside.

I bet the stump is though. The stump they're growing from is rotten, this is very clear in that picture. You should remove those pups, let them callus and pot them up to form their own roots. You risk losing them if you don't.

Thanks,
Also, After I cut those little pups, do I have to wait about a week before re-planting them?
I remember hearing that the cut area should be dry before replanting. Is there truth to that?

If you cut at the join exactly then a week should be more than sufficient. Make sure you don't leave any rotten tissue attached--you should be able just to pull it off of the cut pup carefully.

Cool, thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be cutting them and transplanting them. I'll probably start the cutting tonight, and see how thangs go from there. I'll be sure to update my progress with pics.

well i cut them thangs, the two arms were going two opposite directions making a 180 degree thang
they were pretty much going horizontal.
i guess i'll wait a week for the cut part to dry (to avoid rot) and replant em and see how thangs go.

This is my oldest stump, this was it a couple of years back when the stump was much taller, it is very potent, let the pups grow to decent branches then cut them down take the tips for cuttings (10-15cm long) and eat the middle bit
This was it aged 14-15 years old
Same stump just before xmas just gone
