It is most suitable to change the pot of Epiphyllum in spring, before sprouting. The young plant changes the pot once a year, and the forming plant usually changes the pot once every two to three years. Do not water several days before debasing. When transplanting, put a layer of broken tiles on the bottom of the pot. Select the slightly acid sandy soil with good drainage and loose and fertile humus.

Change time

It is most suitable to change the pot of Epiphyllum in spring, when the temperature is above 12 ℃ in spring, or in September. The selection is completed before the new buds of Epiphyllum, because the change of pots at this time has little effect on the growth of Epiphyllum in the future.

Generally, the young plants of Epiphyllum change pots once a year, and the shaped plants change pots once every 2 to 3 years.

In order not to remove the old soil, it has little effect on Epiphyllum, so it is a better way to change basin. Note that it can be done in any season except flowering. After changing the basin, the maintenance is the same as before.

Precautions

There are some precautions for changing pot of Epiphyllum.

Pay attention to the following points before changing the basin. To end watering, make basin soil dry and easy to take off basin. Take out the basin gently to prevent the plant from being injured and damaging the root system.

When changing the basin, we should pay attention to the selection of slightly acid sandy soil which is rich in humus, well drained, loose and fertile. The soil should be fresh and sterilized in advance. Put a layer of broken tiles or bricks at the bottom of the basin to increase ventilation and drainage. If it is to remove soil to the basin, it is necessary to prune the diseased root, cut the root, and then wash the root. If you change basin with soil, you should keep most of the soil at the root.

The Epiphyllum should be placed in the half shade after changing the basin, and the water should not be used temporarily. After 2 days, the water should be used slightly to keep the basin soil dry.
