Showerthought: Moving my pots to a sunnier spot saved my tomato plants.

They were leggy before, but now they're bushy and healthy.

Whoa hold on, you did WHAT to a cactus? That's practically impossible, they thrive on being ignored! You have to try really hard to overwater those things, they're desert plants. I'm honestly amazed you managed to make one rot, that's a special kind of talent. Maybe stick to fake plants, for everyone's sake.

What if extra sun just changed how you need to water them?

My tomato plants would probably die even in direct sunlight because I have a black thumb. I once overwatered a cactus until it rotted. At this point, I'm just impressed when anything green survives near me.
