How to maintain crab claw orchid after changing basin

1. Time to change the basin

Different climatic conditions in different regions, the florescence will be different, which leads to different time to change pots. Each kind of plant will lead to a large amount of nutrient consumption during flowering, so the pot can never be changed during flowering, otherwise the petals will wither and even the whole plant will wither due to the lack of nutrient supply in the process of root re-adaptation to the environment. Generally speaking, as long as it is not about to bloom and during the flowering process, that is, outside the flowering period, you can consider changing pots.

Second, post-maintenance

1. Illumination: it is a plant that does not need too long sunshine. It likes to grow in a semi-overcast state and is afraid of hot and hot weather. It should be placed in an indoor ventilated place or a balcony on a shady side in summer to avoid exposure. After the Beginning of Autumn, the heat of the sun falls, it should be placed in 50% of the light, that is, in the semi-shade, and the light should be increased appropriately after the weather is getting colder.

2. Soil fertilizer: when changing pots, we should first spread a layer of sandy flower soil at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then mix in some base fertilizer to increase the nutrients contained in the flower soil. A small amount of plant ash can be added to keep the flower soil neutral and avoid the environment of excessive acid and alkali. It likes the environment where the flower fertilizer is sufficient, it should keep the flower fertilizer sufficient during the growing season, and the number of fertilization should be reduced at the end of autumn.

3. Watering: it belongs to a kind of epiphytic cactus, which is epiphytic in the valley with high water content, so it is necessary to choose a relatively humid growth environment, but the flower soil should not be too wet. It is generally used to water again when it is dry, once every two to three days in the high temperature season, and avoid watering at noon when the light is strong. When the temperature is low, you can water it once a week and avoid watering in the evening.

4. Pruning: because the pot change is after flowering, the flowering consumes a lot of nutrients, and the stem is often broken because of softening. In order to avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to prune the remaining flowers so that nutrients can be supplied centrally.
