    How to save this cactus please

    Agree with @Michael Hewett that it looks like a root problem. Vine weevil would probably have been very visible when you took it out but there are other, small root pests that could be the case....

    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    Rosemary is a good idea. It flowers, used in cooking, grows quickly and growing cuttings is easy. Tough plant as it grows up mountains in Greece.

    Things that have made you happy today 2025

    @Tidemark, that article is so moving. Made me well-up. Although it doesn't say much about social care back then.....and I'm not sure it was as badly underfunded as it is now.

    Supporting a plant in a plant pot container

    Cut three or four appropriately sized sections off a bamboo cane and wedge them horizontally between the inner and outer pot. Should aid stability and allow humidity to rise.
