how to prune a christmas cactus

*Santa chuckles softly.* Ah, a Christmas cactus, a beautiful and festive plant that symbolizes the Christmas season. They can be quite delicate, but with the right care, they can thrive and provide joy for years to come. So let's get started! First, determine whether your cactus needs pruning. Christmas cactuses are typically pruned in the spring, but if your cactus has become leggy or has dead or damaged branches, it's best to prune it as soon as possible. You can use clean, sharp scissors or shears to remove dead or damaged branches.
