cactactus:

Why in the world is one of my schlumbergera cuttings dehydrated while the other two in the same pot are nice and plump? It’s been this way for maybe a month now. It’s really bugging me.

There’s 0 signs of rot, so it isn’t that. They’ve been rooted for probably a year now, so it’s not that it doesn’t have plenty of roots either.

I’ve had that happen to Christmas cacti in the past (both gifted ones and ones I’ve just bought for msyelf) and for the life of me idk what it is exactly either. I’ve in the past tried solving the issue by cutting off the wilting stems and try to reroot them, but that too has rarely ever resolved the issue for the ailing parts. It was so long ago though that I’m not entirely sure if I tried rerooting water style or soil style or not.
