    • Drooping And Mushy Leaves. The most common reason why holiday cacti develop drooping or mushy leaves is because of excess water caused by over watering and poor soil.
    • Wilted, Shriveled Leaves. Under-watering will starve your plant of both water and nutrient uptake, and shriveled leaves will be the result! Though overwatering is more common, if a plant does not receive enough water it will suffer!
    • Root Rot. If the leaves on your cacti are soft or mushy, you should check in on the roots to ensure they are not rotting. Root rot is an unfortunate condition where the roots on your plant begin to decay.
    • Stem Rot. Basal stem rot can occur when a Christmas cactus is -you guessed it- overwatered. The plant is especially susceptible to stem rot if it is continuously sitting in cool, soggy soil.

    • Underwatering. Although the Christmas cactus has succulent leaves that store more water than an average plant, it still requires adequate moisture. Water enables nutrients in the soil to be absorbed and transported around the plant.
    • Overwatering. Overwatering a Christmas cactus is a great threat to the health of the plant. It can lead to various problems, including root rot, yellowing leaves, wilting, and stunted growth.
    • Incorrect Soil. Various plants have specific soil they thrive, and a Christmas cactus is no different. In the wild, they even grow along tree branches.
    • Outgrown pot. A Christmas cactus that is growing in ideal conditions will grow very quickly. The roots will also spread around the pot, and when there is no more space, they will entangle each other or grow out through the drainage holes.
