My Easter cactus which has been doing really well have some of these little dots on the ends of the leaves. Anything I should worry about?

    Could be due to staying too moist or too humid, maybe try looking at the roots and adding a bit more bark to the soil mixture. Also wouldn’t hurt to get a copper based fungicide spray

    Both overwatering and underwatering can cause the brown spots on the leaves. If this were a desert type cactus I would say water less but because this is an Easter cactus it's more difficult to decide. Christmas Easter and Thanksgiving cactus are all tropical cactus native to Brazil. They grow in trees like an orchid. They like humidity and prefer their soil to be moist or slightly on the dry side, but definitely not soggy. Also, as they live in rainforest they do like a higher humidity. I would definitely check the roots just to be diligent. I hope this helps.
