    Buy a new one that is the same, plant it in that pot and then say "Voila, my cactus has returned from the dead." :thumb:

    Probably not if you've over-watered it. They are quite resilient to being under-watered because one of mine "died" and then came back to life after it was re-potted. So that's what I suggest you do. Get another pot and fill it with the soil/sand mix that cactii like, and leave it for a bit. Maybe put a teeny bit of water into the soil before you add the cactus, but then no water for 1 month.

    Cacti hate people so why do we like them, It would be like have a poisonous
    snake for a pet... oh.
