This Christmas cactus belongs to my mother-in-law. We are living in their house, and it is one of my favorite things about winter. This plant blooms fully about 3 times during the winter and it gets one or two blooms in between each full bloom. The flowers have two blooms stacked on top of each other like a double-scoop ice cream cone. I water my plants once a week during the winter (about 3/4 cup to 1 cup of water for this large plant). Lately the plant has gotten some yellow, wilting green stems that I have had to remove. I am trying to figure out what is wrong. I am not doing anything differently than I did last year caring for it. Perhaps it needs to be repotted? Do you have any thoughts?
