Soil: Epiphyllum should be cultivated in a loose and fertile soil with good drainage performance and rich humus.

I. soil

Epiphyllum soil requires good drainage performance, rich in humus, loose and fertile, which can be mixed with a small amount of fine sand.

Water content

In summer, we should water the Epiphyllum more, but we should not let the soil have water, nor let it be drenched by rain, otherwise it is easy to rot. It can be sprayed 1-2 times in the morning and evening to increase the air humidity. Keep basin soil not too dry in spring and autumn, control water content in winter, wait for soil to dry before watering.

III. light

Epiphyllum likes half shade environment, but it can't keep away from sunshine. When the sun is softer in winter, you need to put it in the indoor sunny place to keep it. When the sun is stronger in summer, you need to put it in the place where it can't be directly exposed to the sun.

Temperature

The optimum growth temperature of Epiphyllum is between 15-25 ℃. When the temperature is too high in summer, it can be cooled down. In winter, it's better to adjust the temperature to 10-12 ℃, and the lowest temperature can't be lower than 5 ℃. Otherwise, it will be damaged by freezing.

5. Precautions

1. Avoid strong light. Epiphyllum by strong sunlight exposure, leaves will become dry, yellow spots, scorching edge and other phenomena, so when the sun is too strong, we should take certain measures for it.

2. Drain water. Because Epiphyllum is very afraid of waterlogging, so it's best not to let it be drenched by rainstorm. After every rainfall, check whether there is rainwater in the soil, if there is any, drain it
