Like warm, humid and semi-overcast environment. Not resistant to cold, afraid of hot sun exposure. Should be fertile rotten leaf soil and peat soil, afraid of raw coal soil coal ash. The winter temperature is no less than 10 ℃

If you want to cultivate crab claw orchid, it really takes a lot of effort. Pay attention to some of its habits and characteristics. Here are some materials for you. How about these methods first?

Culture method of crab claw orchid 1:

Crab claw orchid prefers semi-overcast and humid environment. Potted soil requires well drained, loose and breathable fertile soil. Summer to shade, rain shelter, it is best to put in a well-ventilated window, balcony or eaves, under. Dry air, hot, poor ventilation, the most not conducive to the growth of crab claw orchid, often lead to the spread of red spiders, poor growth of damaged plants, abnormal stems atrophy and fall off from the base. The main way to prevent the harm of red spiders is to improve ventilation conditions. After the occurrence of the disease, the stone-sulfur mixture of 0.8be can be used to kill. Thin liquid fertilizer can be applied during the growth period, and the fertilizer and water will continue from autumn to before flowering. After the autumn is cool, it can be moved to a sunny place indoors, and the plants should be pruned at the same time, those whose stem nodes are too dense should be thinned and too many weak buds should be removed. The room temperature in winter should not be too high or too low, and it is appropriate to maintain 15c.

The second culture method of crab claw orchid

Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, which can blossom in 2-3 months under the condition of short-day sunshine (8-10 hours per day). If it is required to blossom in October, it can be treated with an opaque shade in July with only 8 hours of light a day, so that it can blossom in late September. After the crab claw orchid appears the flower bud, the pot soil should not be too dry, otherwise the flower bud is easy to fall off. At the beginning of flower bud formation, watering should be reduced as appropriate. Too much watering is also easy to drop buds. When blooming, it is appropriate to put it in a cooler (12c~15c) room, so that the flowering time can be extended. Crab claw orchid has a short period of dormancy after flowering, at this time should keep the basin soil a little dry, after the dormant period, when new buds grow at the top of the abnormal stem, normal watering and fertilization can be carried out.

The third culture method of crab claw orchid:

In cultivation, it is often seen that some crab claw orchids grow well, but they do not blossom or rarely blossom. This is the case. Should check whether the placement is appropriate, because it is a short-day plant, the plant can form buds only when the light is less than 10 to 12 hours a day, such as sufficient light during the day, and the place where it is placed after dark happens to be illuminated by strong light. in this condition of long light, the plant is often not easy to form buds, in addition, excessive shade or too much water will also affect flowering.

The fourth culture method of crab claw orchid:

For plants cultivated for more than 3 years, the crown width can often reach more than 50 cm. In order to control the plant shape, the stem nodes can be truncated in spring, while some of the weak or overdense stem nodes can be removed. After thinning and pruning, the new stems grow green and strong.

Of course, there are more ways to consult more information yourself. There is also a lot of information about this in Merlot Furniture Network, you can check it out.

How to make crab claw orchid grow strong and blossom more?

1. The light should be sufficient

Although crab claw orchid is a shady flower, it prefers light. If it is farmed in semi-shade in summer, it will not grow well and bloom more than the crab claw orchid cultured in direct light. The leaf color of crab claw orchid cultivated under direct light in summer will be slightly yellowish green, branches and internodes will be relatively short, so that more flower buds will be formed in winter. Therefore, when a small bud appears at the end of the leaf in winter, it should also be raised in a sunny place, because only with sufficient sunshine can the crab claw orchid have bright colors, full flowers and longer flowering period.
