Before winter, the soil needs to be changed to one that is breathable and nutrient-rich. Watering is generally done once every half month, but not too much. If there is base fertilizer in the soil, then there is no need to fertilize in winter. The best temperature is between 15 and 22 degrees, preferably not lower than 10 degrees. Lighting conditions must be ensured. It is best to have at least four hours of light every day to promote it to survive the winter safely.

1. Suitable soil

Before winter, it is best to change the soil. It should have good air permeability and sufficient nutrients. 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 epiphyllum, but not too much. Generally speaking, watering once every half month or so is enough. At this time, the root's ability to absorb water is relatively weak, and too much water will cause it to rot.

3. Fertilization is generally not required

If the soil replaced before winter has already been mixed with a part of the base fertilizer, then there is no need to fertilize directly in winter. If there are not enough nutrients in the soil, you can use an appropriate amount of fertilizer in winter, but the amount should not be too large and the concentration should not be too high.

4. Suitable temperature

In winter, it is very important to ensure that the temperature is suitable. Epiphyllum's cold resistance is generally not particularly 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, you will get cold.

5. Suitable light

In winter, it is also necessary to ensure good light conditions, which is also very helpful for it to survive the winter. Generally speaking, it needs to receive at least four hours of light every day. Only light will do, which will also help it grow in the coming year.
