Healthy growth: repotting your Christmas cactus

You can repot a Christmas cactus every three years or so. It likes being slightly root-bound and flowers well when it's crowded in its pot. The new pot shouldn't be too big. Signs that your plant needs a repotting include drying out and wilting. Clay pots drain well and are ideal. In addition, repot after your Christmas cactus flowers but before brand-new shoots emerge.
