I've noticed several large branches of my rather small Christmas catus on
the floor yesterday. Today I found one on the floor and it had a roach on
it. Do roaches eat Christmas cactus? It's like the roach was eating the
branch off at the joint. Needless to say this plant is now out in the
garage and the area it was in has been sprayed with bug spray. I figure the
roach came in on the plant or maybe on the Poinsettia it was sitting next
to. Any information is appreciated.

I'm sure there are many more tasty holiday crumbs around your dining
and kitchen area than a zygocactus stem. Boric acid powder is toxic
to roaches, fairly safe to humans and pets. If you have one roach,
there are many many more.
