Dear Neil, I have had this Christmas cactus for a little more than a year now. It bloomed last year and has flowers on it now. However, its leaves do not look healthy—a condition that arose only a couple of months ago. The plant itself looks droopy, and the leaves are now turning purplish rather than green. The plant sits outside on my covered patio. It gets indirect morning sunlight, and I water it when the soil gets dry. Any advice would be appreciated.
