Some netizens asked, this crab claw orchid I on the basin nearly a month, feel is not served basin, these two days broke two, are broken from the root for no reason, this is why? Cut down these two now can direct cuttage, how cuttage. Fig.

Let me answer your second question first, which is what to do now.

The two stems and leaves of this pot of crab claw orchid still have vitality and can be cut. There is no problem. But need to put the top of that piece of leaves off, you see it, too thin, certainly can not give birth to new shoots.

Cuttage method: choose robust, thick leaves of crab claw orchid, take 1~2 mature stem nodes, twist down with hands. Then leave it in a cool, ventilated place for two to three days. Cuttage seedbed or basin soil to be disinfected in advance, cutting to keep the soil moist, one to two weeks to take root.

OK, that's all for cutting. Let's talk about the first question: Why is this happening?

This pot of crab claw orchids had just been replaced last month. If nothing unexpected happened, the root system should not be connected to the new soil, so it could not absorb water and nutrients normally. In order to save his life, he had to shed some branches. If it had been for flowering, the results would have been worse, perhaps not as simple as dropping a few stems and leaves.

What needs to be done now is to dig out the soil balls from the flower pots. If there are no new roots, break up the old soil balls, clean up the dead roots and replant them. After half a month, if there are new leaves grow out, it means that the basin has been successful. After that, there is the management of fertilizer water.
