My Christmas cactus started drooping and the leaves are turning mushy all of a sudden. I repotted it to check the roots and give it a bigger pot but that seemed to send it into even more shock. The roots seemed fine, possibly a bit wet but I didn’t notice root rot. Is there anything I can do to save it?

    if soil is staying wet, a bigger pot is not the solution. this is 100% overwatering. you probably have to start over, recover what firm pieces you can and propagate.

      This^^ Mushy leaves is always rotting from the inside and will continue to spread if you don’t cut all of the rot away.

      Is it best to propagate in water or soil?
