I took some cutting from my San Pedro cactus for front yard landscapeing and now my original cactus is getting black spots ALL over and they seem to be eating it alive! Does anyone know what this may be and how to stop it?

Could it possibly be damage from cold? Or possibly a fungal infection in the areas you took cuttings from? Could it have gotten too wet over the winter?

Here is some info i ran across..
