How to raise crab claw orchid in summer

1, dormant period to trim

It usually enters the dormant period in summer. At this time, it should be pruned in time after flowering and before high temperature comes. When pruning, each branch of the old pile should be cut off, leaving only 6 to 7 leaves on the line, which can reduce nutrient consumption and make it safe for summer.

2. Less watering and no fertilization

In the summer, it will enter the dormancy period, the requirements for fertilizer and water are not high, at this time we have to water it less, about 1 to 2 times a month, but often spray water on its leaves to reduce the temperature around the pot, and improve the humidity of the air, and when watering, do not irrigate thoroughly, to irrigate a circle around the pot. In addition, in summer, can not give it fertilizer, just keep good ventilation can, otherwise it will burn the roots, let the roots rot.

3, pay attention to shading, and maintain a certain humidity

In summer, the light is very strong, because it itself is afraid of strong light, so at this time to give it appropriate shade or put in a semi-shady place to raise, do not let the strong light shine on it. In addition, because the summer water evaporation faster, but can not directly water it, so we have to often spray water on its leaves, the specific number of times a day can be 2 to 3 times, this can prevent the air is too dry, not conducive to its growth, so in the summer must pay attention to the air humidity, so that it can smoothly spend the summer.
