# Hey guys! My grandmother gave me these cuttings from her Christmas…

Hey guys! My grandmother gave me these cuttings from her Christmas cactus, and the put was super full when she gave them to me but I’ve been having issues with them rotting or drying up, so I’m down to these few small pieces. I just recently repotted it from a large terra cotta into this one and moved it out of the bathroom and into the living room. My sister has cuttings from the same plant and I revived hers from the brink of death and they’re doing fantastic, but I can’t seem to get this one to grow any more. Occasionally it’ll sprout one new growth, but it hasn’t done that in a good while. The picture in the blue pot is when she first gave it to me, but i had to move it to terra cotta pretty quickly because I realized that one wasn’t draining at all. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

You might be under watering it. Despite the cactus name, Christmas cactus does require more water than other cacti. I water mine following Planta timing or whenever the leaves start to droop. It’s in a west facing window and loves it, gets 3-4 hours of direct sunlight later in the day. It’s also pretty tight in there and seems happy, maybe try downsizing the pot a bit?

Thanks! I just downsized the pot about a month ago, but I can move it down some more. I usually water it according to planta’s schedule too, but I’m always afraid I’m going to water it too much, so I think I’m overly cautious. Thank you!

One of the best investments I ever made was a moisture meter. They’re like $10 on Amazon and worth every penny. Highly recommend! I’ve found Planta tends to recommend watering too much, but it also takes some trial and error to figure out what works for your plants in your environment. In other words, I use a mixture of planta, the meter and observation to see what my plants like best.
