My Christmas cactus is quite a few years old- maybe \</= 8yrs or so. It's been in different areas inside, but was repotted several months ago to a bit larger pot (Sadly, I had never repotted it in the yrs i had it - then I found Planta!) and nice new cactus/ succulent soil. It has a new home on the patio table \& seems to love the spot.  
My question concerning with one really large branch - leaning over on top of others. Do I somehow try to shore it up?  
Also, I recently, discovered your group \& am thrilled to expand my knowledge and fun!
