What kind of soil is good for repotting Epiphyllum? How long does it take to recover after repotting?

1. What kind of soil is good for repotting?

The choice of soil is very important when repotting. Epiphyllum likes loose, humus-containing, fertile, well-drained and breathable sandy soil. When repotting, you can mix garden soil, leaf mold and fine sand in a ratio of 4:4:2. This kind of soil is very helpful for the growth of Epiphyllum. In addition, you can put some broken tiles at the bottom of the pot when repotting. This can increase the air permeability of the soil and help drainage.

After the soil is prepared, you should sprinkle some organic fertilizer into it and mix it evenly, or dilute the organic fertilizer and pour it into the soil, which will help the absorption of nutrients. When applying fertilizer, the amount should be appropriate. Too much fertilizer will affect the absorption of the roots and even cause root burn. Too little fertilizer will lead to insufficient nutrient absorption.

2. How long does it take to recover after changing the basin?

It will take about a week for Epiphyllum to recover after repotting. Do not water it immediately after repotting. You can spray it with some water two days after repotting. Just keep the soil moist. You can loosen the soil every once in a while to make it looser so that the roots can fully absorb water when watering.
