Question: I have a lovely Christmas cactus which was given to me two years ago. Despite my ignorance of proper plant care, the plant bloomed beautifully both last year and again this year. It has grown quite large, and the stems at the bases of the stalks have become somewhat woody. Is that normal? Would pruning benefit this plant?
