I brought this fella home yesterday, it looks like it might need a bit of TLC though. Can anyone tell me if this is scale? I scraped some of the black spots off with a knife and they pop off like little shells, but there was nothing inside them.

Just looks like mild scarring to me. It's harmless. Nice plant!

Agreed, no need to remove them with a knife or anything like that, over time they will become less significant as the cactus increases in size. I also see these spots occasionally and they tend to be near newer, more delicate growth so it's probably scarred tissue from one reason or another. Definitely not scale.

Thanks for the second (and third) set of eyes, that makes me feel better!

Trichos will thrive on an amazing amount of neglect.

You are correct. Most cacti thrive on neglect

Hey there,
Didn't want to start an ID thread, so I thought I'd ask here—is this San Pedro cactus? The main plant was damaged or destroyed in a fire, but these stalks seem to have survived. If it's San Pedro, I'll go back and collect them. Thanks for the feedback.

Tbm, my arch nemesis. I still have a spine lodged in my index finger from one of those. Good luck and wear thick gloves
