How to Propagate Christmas Cactus

How to propagate Christmas cactus with division

If your Christmas or Thanksgiving cactus gets very big and pot-bound, you can divide it. Cut through its thick roots with a sharp, clean knife. You can divide it into two to four pieces, depending on the size of the plant. Replant the divisions in a well-drained cactus potting mix. These new plants may look a bit lopsided, but wait to prune or shape them until after they bloom. That way you’ll avoid cutting off any flower buds.
