Hi,  
I’m struggling with an issue with my Christmas cactus. I believe half of the plant has root rot, but the other half is happy and has flower buds. I’m unsure if I should repot the plant and make sure this is the case. However, I’m hesitant since I’m worried that doing so will shock the cactus to the point where the healthy portion won’t flower.  
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!

It's always better to address root rot immediately. If it loses the flowers, it's disappointing, but it's better to have a setback than to lose the whole plant to rot

Root rot won’t go away on its own. The rot can promote bacterial and fungal growth that will kill the entire plant if left untreated. 🪴🍀
