Epiphany, also known as "nocturnal flowers", is known for its ephemeral and beautiful flowers. Although it is beautiful, it is not easy to maintain, especially during repotting. Today, I will introduce you to the correct way to repot epiphyllum flowers, so that epiphany can grow vigorously and bloom brilliantly.
First of all, we need to understand the growth Xi of epiphany. Epiphyllum is native to the tropics and prefers warm, moist, sunny environments. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25, and the temperature is not less than 10 in winter. Epiphyllum is a fleshy root with good drainage and poor drought tolerance. Therefore, these factors should be fully considered when choosing potting and culture soil.
The repotting time is generally selected in the dormant period of spring epiphany, that is, in March and April every year. At this time, the epiphyllum has not yet grown new leaves, and repotting has little effect on the plant.
Next is the repotting step:
1. Prepare tools: Prepare flower pots, shovels, scissors, watering cans and other tools. New basins should be washed and disinfected in advance to avoid bacterial infection.
2. Prepare culture soil: Epiphyllum likes well-drained soil, and can be mixed with humus, garden soil, river sand and other materials. The ratio is about 3:2:1. In addition, some organic fertilizers such as bone meal and egg shells can be added to improve soil fertility.
3. Depotting: Take the epiphyllum out of the old pot and gently shake off the excess soil, taking care not to hurt the root system.
4. Pruning: cut off the diseased, too long, too dense roots, as well as dead leaves, yellow leaves, etc. Retain a healthy root system, which is conducive to plant regrowth.
5. Repotting: Put the pruned epiphyllum into a new pot, and fill the culture soil to 3-5 cm below the edge of the pot. Gently press with your hands so that the soil is in close contact with the roots.
6. Watering thoroughly: watering once immediately after potting, so that the soil is fully moistened, which is conducive to the recovery of epiphyllum roots.
7. Slow seedlings: put the ephemerum after repotting in a semi-shaded and half-yang position, keep the soil moist, and do not expose it to direct sunlight or sun. After the plant grows again, gradually resume normal management.
Finally, epiphany management after repotting is also important. Keep the soil moist by watering and fertilizing it regularly, but never accumulate water. High temperature and humidity should be avoided in summer, and above 10 in winter. During the vigorous growth period of epiphyllum flowers, it should be pruned in time to maintain the beautiful plant shape.
Through the above steps, I believe you have mastered the correct way to change the pot of epiphany. As long as we take care of it, the epiphany will surely bloom into more beautiful flowers and add a touch of color to our lives.
