How to Repot Epiphyllum?

Repotting Epiphyllums:
Do not remove all the soil around the root ball. Just gently shake off excess soil and then repot in fresh soil. Do not water repotted plant for a week. Water lightly for a month before returning to regular watering schedule.

Does Epiphyllum need soil?

These cacti grow in tropical forests, nestled in tree crotches and rotting vegetation. They can live off of leaf mold and other organic wastes. In cultivation, they perform well in standard potting soil amended with peat and sand.

How do I get my Epiphyllum to bloom?

In late winter, stimulate bloom production by placing the cactus in an unheated space that's above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, such as a garage or porch, for about three weeks. Make sure it continues to receive the same filtered light. At the end of the chilling period, return the plant to its place indoors.
