How to Pot an Epiphyllum

By Home & Garden Last updated Sunday, May/05/2024

1). Select a pot one size larger than the previous pot. Clay pots with a drainage hole and saucer are best for indoors.
2). Fill the new pot half full with a mixture of 50 percent potting soil, 30 percent peat moss and 20 percent coarse sand.
3). Tip the old pot on its side to remove the epiphyllum without disturbing its roots. Leave as much soil as possible on the root ball.
4). Set the epiphyllum plant to the same depth it was in its old pot. Fill the pot with additional soil to the top, tamping it lightly at the base of the plant.
5). Place the epiphyllum in a location with filtered sunlight daily or a few hours of morning sunlight.
