I pot my christmas cactus in 1/2 orchid mix and 1/2 potting soil. It has doubled in size in only one year and seems very happy.

The bad thing about putting Christmas cactus into a pot that is much bigger than the previous, is that the plant is not going to be able to absorb the water from the soil quick enough to prevent root rot. You are also using a glazed pot, which is not going to help pull moisture away from the soil. Your pot will cause the soil to stay wet much longer, versus using an unglazed terracotta pot. I definitely don't recommend using a much larger pot when repotting. Especially for people who are new to being owners of succulents/cacti. Also, the point of repotting isn't just to add newer, healthier soil. It also allows you to do a health check on your plant, you get to observe the roots and possibly catch anything before it becomes detrimental to your plant. I also do not water right after repotting. Because often times when repotting, roots are broken. If you have broken roots on your plant and you add water to the soil right away, you run the risk of root rot. It is best to wait at least 10 days, some people even say 14 days, before watering.

Of course we can.. Old farmhouses had huge Christmas cactus's (cacti ?😊) by the North window for years, and passed them on.... after

Took your advice.. when I removed the cactus.. which bloomed beautifully, I was stunned by the dry, grayish soil.. I used the cactus potting mix you suggested.. I’m sure next Christmas I’ll be rewarded with a great flowering plant (5 )

I married into a family that has one of these that’s a 50 year old cutting from a plant that was 100+ years old at the time. It’s a monster! I do not have the stones to repot it, no one does. It’s too bad too, cus this must be why it doesn’t bloom much.

@julielowden9171

So how did it do? Did you do an update video? I haven't repotted mine for a few years. It still blooms twice a year and was trying to figure out to get more growth should I do it after this winter.

Do the aerial roots between leaf segments mean it's searching for moisture?

I have a Christmas cactus that was planted too low in the pot, there is a bit of woody steam sticking up can I just add more soil or do I need to dig it up and replant it?
