Last Updated: 2024/11/22, In summer, crab claw orchid will enter a dormant period, can not be more watering, can often spray water to the leaves, or sprinkle more water around the basin soil to reduce the temperature and increase air humidity. Or you can use the basin method to put the basin soil in the basin filled with water, so that you can spend the summer safely. Usually before watering, you can use the method of weighing or knocking to judge whether it is missing or not.

First, spray more water

Although you can't water more in summer, because of its high temperature and rapid evaporation of water, we should often spray water on its leaves and around the basin, so that it can maintain high air humidity for a long time and play a cooling role. It only takes two or three times a day when spraying water. After spraying, it should be kept in a well-ventilated place to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

Second, the sitting basin method

When watering it, we can use the method of sitting basin, at this time the water can not be too much, and then put the flowerpot in the sitting pot, just let the water not exceed 1/4 of the basin. This not only does not make the soil too dry, but also does not make the soil too wet. So that it can get through the summer smoothly.

Third, check whether it is missing.

In summer, many people do not know how to determine whether it is short of water. In fact, we can judge it by weighing the basin or knocking it. For example, if we use the way of weighing the basin, if we find that the basin is obviously lighter, it is lack of water. It is necessary to water it in time. In addition, it can be judged according to the situation of the soil, such as whether the soil surface is white, and then find chopsticks to insert it in the soil, the depth is 2 to 3 centimeters, and then you can water the chopsticks according to the wet condition.
