Problems regrowing a cactus stem?

So about 4 weeks ago I got this group of 4 cacti in a pot as a house plant. A week ago I had to go on a trip, so I overwatered it and when I came back, one of the four was rotted about 60% of the way. I snipped off the bottom part and threw it away, it was past saving, but the top part still looked good. I heard that you can replant cacti stems and that in a month or so they will grow roots and continue growing, however, a few days later, I noticed that two of the leaves are half mushy. It isn't the same as the rot, they are dark green and really mushy, which lead to the two leaves to droop. Is this normal? Will the cacti be able to regrow? How can I fix these two leaves, and can it spread to the others? Thanks in advance.

    firstly the soil must be very sandy or gritty, normal compost or soil is too water retentious, if you cut a piece of leaf off it will root but needs gritty soil and warm preferably bottom heat by being in a propagator.

    In all likelihood, but possibly via that time nobody might be slicing them off little one boys. Others have famous that it will not be the primary need on the regrow list, and definitely existence saving substitute components will be the forst factor to consier regrowing. However, it's lengthy late that people recognized the value of those genital materials. The foreskin is not only dermis and does no longer just guard the glans(head). Circumcision is now known to ablate the most sensitive constituents of the male genitals. This surgical procedure takes away the major male pleasure zones with about 20000 first-rate touch and stretch nerve endings amputated. The foreskin has a number of ingredients together with the ridged band that is exceptional for ones pleasure (that is why nutters like Kellogg wanted to cut em off, to curtail masturbation), Masturbation is main for a mans bodily and mental wellness. The ridged band immediately contacts the vagina for very pleasant pleasure all around. The dynamics of sex and the exact mechanism of the penis are significantly converted by way of circumcision. The foreskin can in general be slipped all of the means, or close to all the manner, back to the bottom of the penis, and also slipped ahead past the glans. This wide range of movement is the mechanism during which the penis and the orgasmic triggers in the foreskin, frenulum, and glans are influenced the only touch organ possessing as wealthy erogenous innervation as the foreskin is the clitoris. Circumcision deprives man of two/3ds of the predominant erogenous zone constituted of the foreskin and the glans.

    Your problem may be that you need to dry the stem. Some cacti need to be allowed to dry for up to 2 weeks for the wound to callus otherwise it will rot. Use a mix of 50% peat/potting soil and 50% coarse grit or perlite.
