    Have a careful look under the leaves for tiny insects.

        It looks a bit like there was at some stage.:smile:
        If its just the old leaves and the plant is growing well I'd not be too bother for now.

          Am I correct in thinking that it would prefer not to be in a position ideal for a Christmas cactus ?

          They're in a sunny window, don't pepper plants enjoy full sun?

            Full sun is good for peppers, but it can get very hot on a window sill. I don't think that's the problem though. It looks like aphid damage under the leaf. If it's just one leaf then I wouldn't worry especially as the pests have disappeared.

              I'd have the Christmas cactus outside now in semi shade and bring it back in in late September.:smile:

                  Yes but the Christmas cacti may not ! Might be worth checking any other indoor plants for bugs.

                    My Christmas cacti have both been in this window for years and are quite happy
