Flooding and Pruning

Today I gave all my plants a nice big hearty flush of water.  I read recently that it is a good idea to flood the pots once a month to help the soil "detox" from chemical build-up.  This is accomplished by completely drenching the soil such that water overflows the pot's humidity tray, coming back to the pot an hour-ish later and doing the same thing.
I made my way around my indoor garden, "detoxing" the soils of some of my oldest plants using this flooding technique.  For the younger plants, I simply just watered the crap out of them.  When I had made my way to my largest Christmas Cactus, which is always last in line for watering, I decided that it was too large for my preference.  Also many of the segments were feeling and looking kind of limp.  So I decided to prune!

I read that you can remove as much as a third of the plant at a time when pruning. I don't think I came close to that, but I tried!  With these plants, all you have to do is twist off the leaves at their segmented connections and the cuttings come off in your hands. You can either compost the clippings or tuck them one-segment-deep into new potting soil to propagate.

A week or two ago, this plant had opened up some new blooms. I didn't realize when I got it that they do typically bloom twice a year.  Essentially they bloom around the time of year when the hours of darkness are most equal to the hours of lightness in a given 24-hour period.

Lastly I read that these plants prefer indirect light, so I removed it from its west-facing window sill to a plant stand adjacent to a north facing window in the same room.

Photos and more details about this plant and its care to come.
