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.

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.
