Late winter or early spring is the best time to repot a Christmas cactus. You want to wait until the blooming period has ended and the flowers have wilted. You never want to repot when the plant is actively blooming. One thing to know is that Christmas cactus like to be pot bound and should only be repotted every 3 or 4 years when roots begin to grow through its pot’s drainage holes or flower production has diminished from the previous year.
