I have a small green cactus that has a red flower on the
very top of it. It almost looks like a cactus version of a
rose. It is doing very poorly, turning brown, sagging, and
getting soft. Heres the conditions:

Its in a 6 inch plastic pot.
I am using a combination of potting soil and compost manure
for the soil. I water that plant 3 to 5 days a week.
Light is provided by an aquarium light.

When the plant first started doing bad, I put a bunch of
fertilizer tabs in the soil to give it a boost. When that
didnt work, I sealed the hole in the bottom of the pot so
it would retain water better. I know plants need lots of
water to remain turgid.

My dad is never going to let me run his garden nursery if I
cant even take care of a cactus, help!!!!!
