disease and pest conditions of a night blooming cereus

Question

I have a Dutchman’s pipe cereus. It has always been healthy but has been moved to Miami and has developed a condition where stalks that have been flattened into leaves become skeletenized in part of their growth area. New leaves continue to sprout around this but often develop the condition also. Is this sunburn? Is there anything I should do?
