I noticed a bit of yellowing earlier this year around the base, and figured I'd keep an eye on it. Checking on it today, it seems worthwhile checking if anyone here has any advice. The camera really amplifies the difference here, I had barely noticed it just by looking.

I have no idea about plants, but I have a lot of cactuses where I live and many get like that on the oldest parts when new parts are growing ... if that's the case here you might want to try a larger pot so it has room to wiggle it's toes.

Whatever happens, good luck with your little green buddy there :-)

looking into it, I think this is likely the problem. I got a way oversized pot initially and haven't noticed how much it's grown to fill it, and haven't repotted it since inital potting so it's definitely due for one. thanks :)
