Cactus help.

Hello all, these are my son's cacti and I'm wondering if anyone has advice as to what we've done wrong and what we can do to better care for the cacti. The cactus at the top of the picture cannot stand up as it is so top heavy. I am about to be repot them all in slightly larger individual cactus pots. They sit on his desk just to the side of a south facing window so are in full sun for the morning and shade for the afternoon. Thank you

    Slightly larger heavy pots with a few stones at the base might help. Make sure you use gritty cactus compost. make sure there are drainage holes so they don't stand in water. They need a good soak once a week and then let them drain completely.

    Thank you very much fidgetbones. I have a specific cactus repotting mix, is that good enough? It's not very gritty.
