I received a christmas cactus as a present last year...it is now in full bud/bloom...I was wondering when is the best time to re-pot it and put it in a bigger container?

    Best to let it rest (but keep it watered) after it is done blooming until spring. It will not generate any new roots in cool weather.

    Christmas cactus likes it's roots to be pot bound. It blooms better that way. If you want to put it into another pot, only go up in size about an inch bigger. Anytime after it's done blooming is a good time to do it.

    Repot after it is done blooming. i.e. when the flowers have all fallen off.
