How to grow Epiphyllum in winter

1. Suitable soil

It is best to replace the soil before winter. The soil should have good air permeability and sufficient nutrients, and humus soil can be used. Some nitrogen fertilizer can be mixed into the soil to ensure the nutrient needs of Epiphyllum in winter.

2. Appropriate amount of water

In winter, you can add an appropriate amount of water to the Epiphyllum, but not too much. Generally speaking, it is sufficient to water the plant once every half a month or so. At this time, the roots' ability to absorb water is relatively weak, and too much water will cause it to rot.

3. Generally no fertilizer is needed

If some base fertilizer has been mixed into the soil when it is replaced before winter, then you don't need to apply fertilizer in the winter. If there are not enough nutrients in the soil, you can use some fertilizer in winter, but not too much and the concentration should not be too high.

4. Suitable temperature

In winter, it is very important to keep the temperature suitable. The cold resistance of Epiphyllum is generally not very good, so temperature is very important. Specifically, the most suitable temperature for it is fifteen to twenty-two degrees. If it cannot be guaranteed to be within this range, it is best not to be lower than ten degrees. If the temperature drops to zero degrees, you will freeze.

5. Appropriate lighting

Good lighting conditions must be ensured in winter, which is also very helpful for it to survive the winter. Generally speaking, it needs to receive at least four hours of light a day, which is also conducive to its growth in the coming year.
