Zigzag cactus leaf snapped
I was moving my cactus and accidentally broke one of the main leaf that has lots of babies and other bigger leaves stemming from it. What can I do to save it? Is it going to repair itself or that leaf will eventually die off?

Is this a mutation or normal growth?
My Gymnocalycium mihanovichii 'koi' has produced this weird pup next to the normal orange one. It's almost completely white and looks like a misshapen blob. Is this some kind of genetic mutation or something that normally happens?

Doubt
Hello, I hope you’re all doing well. I have a question: I recently acquired a cactus, but I don’t know much about them. It came in a pot that was much too small, so I transplanted it into this one. My concern is whether this pot might be too big—I’ve heard that cacti prefer having their roots quite snug in their containers.

Advice for using Opuntias as grafting root stock
If anyone has any experience with using Opuntias as root stock, I would love to hear any advice or anecdotes. Since they grow like weeds here in North Texas, I’d really like to use them for less hardy varieties (I am trying my hand at grafting Trichocereus on them).

Rat Tail Cactus-what’s going on?
Newer succulent parent here. Any idea(s) of what’s going on with my rat tail cactus? She sits under T5 grow lights and is watered monthly. What am I missing?

Ayuda con mi cactus! 🙏
Quiero saber cómo cuidar mejor de mi cactus, creo que por el peso se desprendió esa ramita, aunque ya se me habían desprendió más ramas. Lo pondré en una matera más grande y lei que podía plantar lo que se cayó, sin embargo, de dónde se cayó la rama lo que la estaba sujetando tambien se quedó inclinado, no se si mi cactus está mal, o es normal, últimamente le crecen muchos nuevos fragmentos. Cuando lo compre ya tenía esas partes marrón que se ven en uno de sus tallos, pero no está blando ni nada

Peruvian apple/sereus hildmannianus?
Seen this stand today and my hopefully educated guess is Peruvian apple. Did I do good?

Winter location
Better sun in this spot over the winter for the potted plants. Normally spread around the main garden in the spring/summer.

What species of cactus?
So I've had this guy (named him Pat) for about 3 years. Honestly didn't think i could keep him alive this long, so i never really thought about what he could be until a friend asked me. I tried to look into it, and i was mostly getting different things in the mammillaria genus, but they all look kind of similar to me. I was wondering if anyone could help pinpoint the exact one? I bought him in a grocery store in SW Ohio if that's helpful. Here's a few photos from over the years along with a close up of his stabbers.
Also, any tips on better care for him? He seems to keep leaning towards the sun so i rotate him every so often, but he definitely has a few curves. My sister helped me to prop him up so hopefully that helps. I water him maybe every 6 weeks? I usually just wait until his soil is looking dry, then give him water until the extra drainage from the bottom stops looking so yellow. He's currently a bit over a foot tall from base to tip.
Thanks for any help in advance!
