I have a Christmas cactus that is dropping leaves. I moved from New Jersey to phoenix Arizona 3 years ago and brought this beautiful plant with me. It bloomed in March every year. Since I moved to Arizona the plant has not bloomed once. It is dropping leaves and looks ill. It does produce new leaves but they are not the hard vibrant leaves from back east. Is there something I can feed the plant. I have changed the light several times and it never seems to help. I was thinking it might be too dry here, or something is bad in the water/
Can you help.
Thank you,

If the leaves or branches are falling,It may be because of the hot air, maybe the light could is too low, or could be over-watered or not getting enough water.
Put it in the coolest room or spot you have with indirect light.
Water only when it's had a chance to dry out first If it where a healthy plant, you should be feeding it lightly from spring through the fall and stopping when you see tiny buds forming.Only fertilize healthy thriving plants, so I wouldn't feed yours now.
The Christmas cactus needs shorter daylight hours in the fall and cooler temps, around 55-65 to set buds and flower.
If for some reason your continue to decline, you can take stem cuttings and start over.

To take stem cuttings, you can cut 6"-7" section of stem that is shaped like a "Y" and plant it in a small 2" pot with good draining soil with some peat added or, you can root them in plain water. I have seen my husbands grandmother root whole branches in water, or should I say ice water, they were sat in an un-heated spare summer room. NO heat at all, and through the glasses she used to root them in, you could see lots of big healthy roots and the branches were flowering too, all in the dead of winter.
