Crab claw orchids are thin and soft, snap off the leaves and raise them somewhere else, or you'll die right away.

The summer temperature is relatively high, many of the flowers we maintain are dormant or semi-dormant, such as crab claw orchid. To maintain crab claw orchid in summer, we must keep it in a place with good ventilation and sufficient scattered light. Never give it rain. I have learned a great lesson for this.

This fairy refers to (many people will recognize the crab claw orchid, the leaves are very similar, the maintenance method is the same) is I raised for a year. It was because I left it outside for ventilation, and then forgot to bring it to the house. It was caught in the rain, which caused the grafting site to rot in the rain, and so many leaves were wasted, so this is a painful lesson.

I had to re-graft some leaves with three-rowed arrows. Flower friends must keep this lesson in mind.

Cactus grafted crab claw orchid, because summer is the peak season of rootstock growth, so the rootstock will continue to split lateral buds, this time to break off the lateral teeth in time to prevent it from absorbing too much nutrients, resulting in the grafted crab claw orchid growth is not exuberant. Broken cactus or leaf fairy can also be re-used for cutting.

Many flower friends say that in summer, crab claw orchid is prone to the phenomenon that the leaves are soft, thin and soft, which may be due to the fact that the former leaves of your crab claw orchid are not very thick, and when it is dormant in summer, crab claw orchid grows slowly.

There is a state of malnutrition, or because the roots do not grow well, the soil is impervious. It can also cause the leaves to be thin and soft, so put it in a well-ventilated place with scattered light or a little light, and let it sleep slowly. In autumn, return to normal watering, fertilization, light, can slowly slow down

Some flower friends' crab claw orchids keep losing their leaves in summer, which may be due to poor ventilation or maintenance in the air-conditioned room, or being caught in the rain, which will cause the leaves to fall off. As long as you put it in a well-ventilated place, reduce the watering times and maintain a slightly wet soil, you can safely get through the dormancy period.

In autumn, return to normal watering and fertilization, the leaves of crab claw orchid will slowly slow down, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn, maintain a short day, then it will soon be covered with buds.
