How to repot Epiphyllum? Do I need to water it after repotting?

1. Repotting method

1. Repotting time: When the Epiphyllum is a seedling, the pot should be changed once a year, and when it is a mature plant, the pot should be changed every 2-3 years. The time for repotting should be chosen carefully, usually in spring. The temperature for repotting should be above 12 degrees Celsius. At this time, the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the seedlings to grow slowly after repotting.

2. Repotting steps: When repotting in spring, you should first move the plant from indoors to outside. At this time, you can turn the pot over and change the soil. Carefully remove the plant and check whether there are any bad roots. If there are any, cut them off and sprinkle charcoal powder on the cut part to dry. Then find a larger pot, mix the soil and organic fertilizer evenly, and finally put the Epiphyllum in it and place it in semi-shade.

2. Do I need to water after repotting?

Do not water the plant immediately after repotting. Wait two days before watering the plant again. Epiphyllum likes moist soil. When watering, make sure to water it thoroughly without water accumulation. This is because Epiphyllum is afraid of waterlogging. Water accumulation in the pot will cause root rot.

In addition, in early spring, late autumn, and winter, because the temperature is relatively low, the Epiphyllum will be in a semi-dormant state, so watering should be reduced. When the temperature rises in spring, the plants begin to recover. At this time, you can increase the amount of watering. Adequate water absorption is of great help to the growth of Epiphyllum.
