The crab claw orchid pot soil can blossom in many layers every year.

The crab claw orchid is an epiphytic succulent plant of the cactus family, because its stem node connection shape is the same as the crab's sub-claw, its florescence around Christmas, so it is also known as the Christmas cactus. Crab claw orchid likes to be fat, but because the root system is relatively weak, it is easy to burn roots, so care should be taken.

1. Pine needle

We can add some pine needles to the basin to solve this problem. We can dig some pine needles under the pine tree, preferably those yellowish-brown needles, which are relatively dry and easy to crush. Such pine needles can provide more nutrition for crab claw orchids. And it is completely rotten and will not cause harm to plants.

Just dug home pine needles should not be used directly, need to be exposed to the sun to achieve the role of disinfection, but also can kill the tide insects and eggs in the pine needles, at this time we can mix the pine needles into the basin soil and use them directly. The addition of pine needles not only makes the basin soil more loose and breathable, but also helps the roots to absorb nutrients, and the nutrient-rich pine needle soil will grow more prosperous and bloom more.

two。 Sand

Adding a little sand to the basin soil can increase the air permeability of the basin soil, saving money is also convenient, pay attention to the use of coarse sand, drainage well-ventilated soil, this can well prevent it from rotting roots.

3. Chicken manure fertilizer

The effect of raising crab claw orchid with rotten leaf soil, chicken manure and coarse sand is very good. The organic matter of rotten leaf soil is high and drained well, but the composition of the soil is low, and it is easy to be consumed for a long time. Adding chicken manure can effectively improve this situation. Mixing the two is a very good choice.
