How to Propagate a Christmas Cactus: A Step-by-Step Guide

This is the step in the process that requires you to be the most cautious.

For transplantation, you first need to successfully pull out your Christmas cactus from the pot with its roots intact.

This is best done using your hands rather than some sharp gardening tool. It’s crucial to be gentle here as any harsh tugs or pulls can damage the root system right away.

You can either transplant your Christmas cactus into your garden outdoors or into a larger pot with more free space to accommodate full root spreading. Either way, ensure that wherever you’re planting, the soil is well-draining and your plant receives plenty of indirect light.
