How to raise the latest crab claw orchid
The crab claw orchid is an ornamental plant of the cactus family. Its stem is very similar to the cactus, but there is no thorn on the surface. It is a new type of plant introduced from Brazil in China, and it is planted all over the country. Originally, it was mostly planted in national parks and other places, but the change of market demand has led to the emergence of a lot of crab claw orchid growers, specializing in growing crab claw orchid for economic benefits. So how to raise crab claw orchids? Let's learn how to breed it.
1. Planting environment
Crab claw orchid it is suitable to survive in a warm and humid environment, need a certain amount of light, but the light can not be too strong, so the planting land is generally in the half-yin and half-yang area. Crab claw orchid is extremely cold-resistant, the lowest growth temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, the temperature suitable for its growth is generally between 20 and 25 degrees. The soil of the planting land has sufficient fertility, rich in organic matter, strong drainage and air permeability. Pay attention to intensive cultivation, the soil needs to be sprinkled with the right amount of peat, coarse sand and enough mature organic fertilizer to stir evenly.
2. Methods of reproduction
There are two main propagation methods of crab claw orchid, which are cutting and grafting. Grafting is best from the end of March to mid-June, or from mid-September to mid-October. The time of grafting is generally chosen in the morning, and the best medium for grafting is cactus, so the survival rate is as high as 95%. Cuttage propagation is usually carried out every spring, so that the survival rate can be well guaranteed.
3. Maintenance and management
The maintenance and management of crab claw orchid is very critical. Among them, maintenance management mainly includes watering, fertilization, weeding, light and temperature management. Crab claw orchid can not use chemical fertilizer, so the late topdressing can only use organic fertilizer or farm fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer should not be too large, too much will lead to plant death. After planting, we can't water it immediately, we can't water it until the interface is glued, and the humidity in the field can be kept between 50% and 60%. Moisture is not easy to be too much, otherwise it will cause root rot. Generally speaking, the maximum water demand is only at flowering stage, which can appropriately increase the water supply. Fertilization needs to be determined according to the growth of crab claw orchid, if the crab claw orchid is thin and malnourished, then fertilizer is needed.
4. Build a bracket
When the crab claw orchid grows to a certain height, it needs to build a support frame to support its growth, because its torso can not carry such a heavy weight, if there is no support frame, it will break or lodge, affecting its economic value and ornamental value. And building a support frame can also enhance the permeability of the field, which is conducive to bud cultivation and flowering, so we usually wait until the crab claw orchid grows to about 30 centimeters before we can start to support the frame.
5. Pruning and shaping
When planting crab claw orchid, florists will trim it at the right time so that it can be trimmed into a shape that they think is beautiful. This can attract the attention of consumers, thereby increasing purchasing power, and immediately increase its economic value. Secondly, pruning is conducive to the growth of crab claw orchid, if not pruned, then the nutrient supply will not come up, will cause malnutrition, will not blossom, or even slowly wither. Therefore, when planting, farmers often trim and cut in the flower fields.
6. Disease and pest control
The most common diseases of crab claw orchid are anthracnose, rot, Fusarium wilt and so on, the main harm is the leaf stem of crab claw orchid, the peak of the disease is usually in summer when the temperature is high and rainy. Carbendazim can be used to control the disease at the initial stage of the disease, but in serious cases, the diseased plants need to be removed and burned, and the planting land should be disinfected so as not to affect the growth of other healthy plants. The most serious pest is the shell insect. In the early stage of the pest, the part damaged by the shell insect can be removed, while the serious one needs to be sprayed with imidophos EC. Finally, there are red spiders, moths and other pests, which can be controlled by omethoate.
At present, crab claw orchid is also a common flower planting on the market, and it is also a planting project that many florists are keen on. However, many people still have a lot of problems when planting crab claw orchids, most of which are due to the lack of maintenance management and later management. After that, people need to pay more attention to planting. This is the end of the editor's sharing today. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
