It's all too easy to get over-enthusiastic with the watering can, especially if you're new to houseplant care and eager to feed and water your plants daily. But if you overwater a Christmas cactus, it will soon become the victim of root rot.
The good news is that if you correct your watering routine and do what you can to remove the excess water from your Christmas cactus immediately, you should be able to save it and reverse the damage.
