I've had this Easter Cactus for over a year and all of a sudden it's been dropping leaves. No changes in lighting or water. Any ideas?

    Maybe misting it?

    These plants don’t require too much water. Make sure they are getting dried out before each watering. Also it is recommended to keep these guys in a dark place to help flower, maybe it’s getting too much sun?

      Also want to add, some plants are very sensitive to water and it looks like you have hard water like me. The minerals sometimes clash with the plant and so distilled or dechlorinated water (tap water sat out for 24 hrs to remove the chlorine) could help too.

      It's been under a grow light for months and I only use filtered water. 🤷‍♀️

      Hmm maybe try moving it away from the grow light to a darker part of the room for a month and little watering and see how it likes it. If there is immediate/quick wilting then move it back. But the light could be stressing it out.

    Has it been recently repotted? I’ve learned the hard way that these guys are at a high risk for shock if their roots are remotely fooled with during a repot, especially in the cooler months. Hope this helps if that’s possibly the case 😊

    Did the temperature indoors change? Is there a draft?
