Whether it is a gentleman orchid or crab claw orchid flower growers often have plants, especially crab claw orchid, its leaves section by section, the color of the flowers pink, very lovely. So, today Huahua will tell you about the process of inserting crab claw orchid leaves!

The propagation mode of crab claw orchid is mainly divided into two kinds, one is grafting, the other is cutting, because the survival rate of cutting is high and the cost is low, so this way is more and more popular.

First of all, we have to choose a healthy crab claw orchid, after it blossoms, we will prune it, and after picking off the flower, the top leaf is the most nutritious, with such leaves, the survival rate will be greatly increased. We should first put the picked leaves in a cool and ventilated place and hang them for a day, so that the wound can be healed for cutting.

When we cut the leaves, we should be careful not to pick too many at once, leaving only 2Mel 3 knots, so that it will have enough nutrition to grow!

The next step is to prepare the pot soil, we can use a special seedling pot, we have to determine the size of the pot according to the number of cutting leaves, soil must ensure its water permeability, and a little bit of delicate soil can speed up the rooting of leaves. Then you can insert the leaves into the flowerpot, and pay attention to facing down the wound when you insert it.

Remember to water, but not too much, just keep the soil slightly wet. Then we can put a plastic bag on the flowerpot, which can ensure the humidity of its growing environment, thus speeding up rooting, but there should also be a few small holes in the plastic bag to facilitate air circulation, otherwise it will be easy to suffocate the leaves.

The next step is to put the plant in a place where there is no direct sunlight, because it cannot take root normally in strong light. In about two weeks, we can check whether it has taken root or not. if we find that many small roots have grown, it means that the leaf has been successfully inserted, and then we can take it out of the nursery pot and transplant it into a larger pot.

Under normal maintenance, you will soon see a brand-new crab claw orchid. It is more like the wet environment, in the growth and flowering period can be watered once a week, but after flowering should be properly kept dry, watering once a month, be sure to prevent in the semi-overcast environment, the sun is too strong will seriously damage the leaves.
