Why do cactus plants disintegrate when they get too much water?

A cactus plant disintegrates when it gets too much water, because of its tissues. Its tissues aren't set up to work with continuous or large amounts of water. Instead, they're adapted to get as much of the infrequent and insubstantial amounts of water that they can from a bright, drab, dry, extreme, harsh desert environment. Overwatering and waterlogging cause cactus tissues to blacken, rot, and die.

More water or less sunlight may be ways to heal a brown cactus plant.Specifically, a cactus is drought and heat tolerant. But it may turn brown because of too little water. The plant is adapted to water-poor environments. But that does not mean that it has no water needs at all.A cactus plant likewise may turn brown because of too much sunlight. The latter situation is the equivalent of a cactus sunburn. A cactus in fact has a side that adapts to receiving more sunlight than the other. But there is such a thing as overexposure if the sunning lasts too many hours and the light is too harsh.
