My Easter cactus has been dropping leaves for the last month or so. I have been following the schedule as per the planta app. However, I’ve noticed some browning at the base leaves. I’m hesitant to repot in the dormant season. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

how often are you watering? they should be on a 10+ day wet/dry cycle.

#### marg220617 antwoordde op 2025-11-12

I’ve been watering around every 2 weeks in the fall.

I’m having the same issue with mine. All if my Thanksgiving cactuses are fine but my Easter dropped leaves toward the end of summer and still seems to be, and yet I am also seeing new growth. I’m stumped.

This is what mine does every year too.

That’s good to know, mine didn’t drop any last fall but it was kind of new last year.
