Hi Fellow Gardeners:
I have 2 Xmas Cactus plants inside my home that are growing wild!
They bloom beautifully, but are really overgrown for the size of the
pot. Very difficult to manage/water them.
What is the safest way to trim these plants? Where should the cut be
positioned? Anything I need to watch out for?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on where you live and when you take the cutting, they can produce roots in a few days. I wouldn't use a rooting hormone for two reasons - 1) it's a waste of money 2) rooting hormones can slow down rooting on plants that root readily without.
