Hello everyone. This is my 10 year old Christmas cactus. I've already been in contact with the Planta team. This is one month post repot- I chose smaller because somewhere I read it may like to be snugglier to reduce stress and yes, it has drainage. He is about half the size he was. He did not appear root bound or did not have rot rot, but some stems were yellow. What's left is his original stem, it's stem is sturdy, but I can't get it to not droop and recover. His leaves are like lifeless and soft. The soil is a mix of Back to Roots Organic Succlent and Cactus Mix, stones and coconut fiber. It has fertilizer stones. It has a table I move it to directly in front of the window. It doesn't even react to the grow light. Does anyone have any recommendations? This cactus never had any problems before this incident and I am so upset this happened. I am propagating some of it in hopes I can save some. The right picture is about 2 years ago.

    Looks like a watering problem. Although they have a very high moisture tolerance then other cacti and succulents it's still a desert plant. I water mine every three weeks. The only other thing I can think of is malnutrition blooming. When did it last flower?

      It hasn't flowered in awhile. I just bought some liquid plant food. Do you have any other suggestions? I appreciate all the help.

    Ugh, one of mine did this a few months ago, it’s so frustrating when this happens.

      Right! I've never had any trouble in ten years. Hopefully adding some plant food will help!
