Help! What’s going on with my Christmas cactus?

It has good drainage, never overwatered, and gets plenty of light

this is a thanksgiving cactus and it’s not draining as well as you think — that’s mold. i’d repot and treat with peroxide. a clay pot will help promote drying

Soil is staying too wet too long so mold is growing. I would check for root rot with this much mold.

Didn’t see any root rot so that is a relief!!!

Definitely not draining fast enough. If you used a soil with inoculation that may be why it's so prevalent too

What is soil with inoculation?

#### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-26에 답변했습니다.

Any "probiotic" or beneficial fungus really. I think the most common one i see is mycorrhizae which is a fungi

Agreeing that it is staying wet for too long. You can also downsize the pot to allow it to dry out faster, they usually do better when their pots are small

UPDATE! I repotted into a smaller pot ✅, also ceramic pot ✅, with rocks and a soil mix for good drainage ✅.

Hopefully my thanksgiving cactus appreciates it! I definitely appreciated all of your help and feedback :)

Well dang Wolfen... you are truly a wealth of knowledge. Have you studied botany or any such subject? Or is this just your passion? Either way... you are awesome!
