# Can anyone tell me what might be the issues with my Christmas cactus?…

_Posted by Amy on 2025-05-13_

Can anyone tell me what might be the issues with my Christmas cactus? It’s not on all of the leaves, just some and mainly on the ends, none towards the middle. They are like little divots or something, not raised and can’t scrape off.  
I do not see any evidence of pests. Potted in an unglazed terra cotta pot with cactus soil and perlite. Any help is appreciated!

That looks like edema. Mine did the same thing and I just backed off the watering. Planta is a bit aggressive on its schedule sometimes so I use a hydrometer before watering it now.

Thank you. I wondered if that might be it. My first reaction is always BUGS! 😫
