This is my Christmas cactus.  
Is he alright? He’s been slump for about a good week.

Make sure to dump out excess water. I think he also needs more soil. What kind of soil are you using?

#### Felicia replied on 2023-12-07

I got this from a friend. It looks like just regular plant soil

I would go to Home Depot and get soil that is specifically for cacti.
