My Christmas cactus has been looking withered recently. I took her out of the window to repot tonight and she fell out of the pot without her roots. I don’t water her super often but when I do I drown her. This method has worked for several years but I suppose it’s led to root rotπŸ₯² is there any saving her from this barely root bearing nub?? I do intend to pinch off some cuttings but I’d like to save all of her if I can. She’s a few years old now. Don’t go by my Greg last watering I always forget to update !! She was watered a few days ago & is normally watered every 2 weeks ish. #TrueChristmasCactus #ChristmasCactus #help #advice #christmascactuslove

@Gardenhouse yes that’s pretty clear. This post is asking how I can fix it
What a shame your gorgeous Christmas Cactus has developed root rot!
I'm no expert when it comes to dealing with succulent root rot, but if I was you, I would cut off a few pieces and propogate it.

I'll slowly be updating my plant database ovwr thr next week or so :)
@DesertScapeAU right!! I should have checked on her more ☹️ I’ve propped a few pieces and I actually JUST repotted the main plant into a much smaller terracotta in hopes she’ll grow new roots
