Leaves yellowing
I recently (a week or two ago) thoroughly soaked my Christmas cactus cuz I was gonna move it outside where I knew it would need the water, but then the leaves started variegating(?) and falling off, so I moved it back inside two days later, but the leaves are still yellowing, getting super thin and wimpy, and falling off. Halp! #christmascactus

Definitely a sign of being over-watered. I recommend you remove it from its current pot and check the roots for root rot. If you see any fungus on the roots, rinse the roots and let them dry out overnight. Repot it the next morning and don’t water it for a day or so before beginning a regular water regimen. Good luck.
@WickedValkyrie It has an awesome root ball. Just take a scissor and cut away the plastic. The small amount of roots that may be cut will not kill the plant.
@ShellyJo no worries! I just started using the app today, so I'm sure I'll make my fair share of mistakes before I really figure it out... Lol
