Dear Jessica: My Christmas cactuses are almost in full bloom. Both plants are about 40 years old and are in need of repotting and new soil. Any help on how to and when to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Walter: First of all _ congratulations! Keeping a houseplant, especially a finicky one like Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii), thriving for 40 years is deserving of some serious green-thumb respect.
