Crab claw orchid is a succulent plant of cactus family. Although it originated in Brazil, it is now common in all parts of our country. It not only has a very high ornamental value, but also has the effect of detoxification and detumescence, and can be used to treat sores, swelling, poison and other problems. So how to raise crab claw orchids? The following editor brings you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of crab claw orchid, let's have a look!

1. Planting environment

Crab claw orchid likes to grow in a warm environment, the demand for water is relatively large, and its cold resistance is relatively poor. So we should pay attention to the temperature change in the planting area before planting. Then to make a good choice of soil, the soil should ensure adequate fertility, good permeability, and maintain slight acidity. If it is cultivated in flowerpots, a layer of fine sand should be spread at the bottom of the basin to ensure that the soil can seep water normally. In the process of planting, a reasonable support frame should be built according to the plant type of crab claw orchid to ensure the normal growth of crab claw orchid.

2. Fertilizer and water management

When planting crab claw orchid, we must pay attention to control the amount of fertilizer and water. Lack of fertilizer and water will only reduce the growth rate of crab claw orchid, too much fertilizer and water will lead to plant death. When fertilizing, we should try to avoid the use of chemical fertilizer, generally based on thin fertilizer and water. After entering the flowering stage, the amount of fertilizer and water can be increased appropriately. In summer, we should do a good job in ventilation, properly shade, reduce the amount of water, and prevent rotting roots. When watering, it can spray water to the root of the plant, increase the humidity and lower the temperature. During the growing period, keep the soil moist to avoid being too dry and wet.

3. Reasonable pruning

After the flower of crab claw orchid withered in spring, it should be cut short from the third section of the lower part of the remnant flower. Then we should pay attention to the thinning of some old stems and over-dense stem nodes to avoid consuming too much nutrients and improve permeability. Then it is necessary to remove some small buds that are too many and too weak in time to ensure that the flower specifications are consistent and improve the flowering rate. In breeding, we also need to prevent the stem nodes of crab claw orchid from overlapping and scattered with each other, and delete some stem nodes with different growth in time, which can effectively improve the overall appreciation of crab claw orchid.

4. Points for attention

When raising crab claw orchid, we should pay attention to control the temperature. The suitable growth temperature of crab claw orchid should be about 25 degrees, not too high, if more than 30 degrees, then the growth of crab claw orchid is obviously hindered. The winter temperature should also be kept at about 15 degrees, the lowest not less than 10 degrees, otherwise the crab claw orchid is very easy to die. The temperature can not change suddenly, if the temperature difference is too large, it can easily lead to the death of crab claw orchid. Finally, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, such as anthrax, shell insects, etc., to avoid harm and ensure the normal growth of crab claw orchid.

The above is a brief introduction of crab claw orchid culture methods and matters needing attention. The culture method of crab claw orchid is not difficult, mainly to do some management work to ensure the ornamental value of crab claw orchid. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
