Is it good to raise crab claw orchid indoors, and is crab claw orchid suitable for indoor farming

Indoor crab claw orchid, in addition to the location, also feed it in the pot, otherwise it is difficult to bloom.

Crab claw orchid is suitable for indoor cultivation and is very suitable. Many flowers are poisonous, and some friends only find out that it is poisonous after breeding a flower, and then they dare not raise it again, but they are reluctant to dispose of the newly bought flowers. Therefore, whether it is suitable for indoor cultivation, the first thing to look at is whether it is poisonous.

For the plant, there is no need to worry at all, because it is completely non-toxic.

(1) The first reason has been mentioned above, that is, it is not toxic and will not be harmful to the human body.

2) Second, it is not only non-toxic, but also able to remove some toxic and harmful gases. In particular, this plant belongs to the pulp plant, and it has a strong ability to absorb harmful air.

3) Then it's viewable. From **, we can clearly observe that it is very beautiful, especially when it blooms. Even if it doesn't bloom, that touch of green will give us a fresh feeling.

Some of the above reasons show that it is suitable for indoors, and here we will talk about the indoor conditions, and we will find that it is not only suitable, but must be kept indoors. The first is the temperature, the most suitable for it is 22 to 30 degrees, if it is below 10 degrees, it is easy to affect the opening of the flowers. Well, it's easy to find that the temperature is right.

The second is humidity, which is easy to rot if it accumulates water in rainy days, so if you raise it indoors, you won't have this kind of problem.

Then there is the light, the semi-shaded environment is the best, so the indoor light will naturally not be too strong. Based on the above points, it is necessary to put it indoors.

Fit. Crab claw orchid prefers a warm and humid semi-shady environment, is not cold-tolerant, the minimum temperature can not be lower than 10, and the most suitable temperature for its growth period is 20 25. Prefers loose, organic-rich, well-drained and breathable substrates.

Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, which can bloom in 2-3 months under the condition of 8-10 hours of sunshine per day, and the flowering period can be adjusted by controlling the light.

Crab claw orchid is generally repotted once every other year in March and April, the potting soil is suitable for loose, fertile and permeable slightly acidic soil, and the bottom of the pot is first covered with a layer of fine sand to facilitate water seepage, combined with the growth of weak and dense branches between the repots, and moderately shortened, so as to facilitate the germination of tender and strong new branches, flowering and flourishing.

Yes, but please note that when there are buds, do not move them at will, otherwise the buds will easily drop.

Crab claw orchid is a cactus plant native to the Brazilian rainforest. Because it grows epiphysically on large tree trunks or in dark, moist stone crevices in its native area, it needs shaded, moist environmental conditions for growth and development. It is a short-day plant that requires 8 to 10 hours of sunshine per day.

During the annual growth of crab claw orchid, there are two short dormant periods (one in the hottest summer and one in early spring after flowering) and two vigorous growth periods (one in mid-to-late May and one in early to mid-October). During the autumn growth season, attention should be paid to placing the potted crab claw orchid in the sunny window to let it fully receive the sun. It is best to build a plastic film shed in the corner of the balcony sheltered from the wind and sun, when the sun shines on the plastic shed, a microclimate is formed in the shed, which can ensure sufficient air humidity and is conducive to the growth of crab claw orchid.

On the other hand, the film shed can increase the temperature and keep warm, and it is generally about 5 higher than the room at night. If there is sun, the temperature is 5-10 times warmer than outside. In the cold winter wax moon, waste cotton tires or blankets can be used to cover the plastic shed in the evening, and they can be lifted at sunrise the next day.

In this way, the temperature can be maintained at about 15-20 during the day and not lower than 5-8 at night, which is conducive to its growth.

Crab claw orchid enters the budding stage, fertilizer and water should be sufficient, especially need to increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, less or no nitrogen fertilizer, which is mainly to prevent growth and affect the formation of flower buds. Generally, it is applied once a week with dilute fertilizer such as fully decomposed chicken manure, fishy water, and bone meal. Watering should not be too frequent, and it is advisable to water the potting soil when it is dry.

In addition, pay attention to the thinning buds of crab claw orchids. Flower buds generally begin to form in mid to late October. The top of the stem node often has 2-3 flower buds at the same time, so it is necessary to thin the buds, keep the largest one, and remove the rest.

Sometimes, there will be a young stem and a flower bud at the top of the stem node at the same time, and the young stem should be removed in time to avoid wilting due to insufficient nutrients.

Some netizens asked how to raise crab claw orchid, and what should be paid attention to in the maintenance of crab claw orchid? The following is a brief introduction: the key points to pay attention to in the cultivation of crab claw lotus are as follows:

Crab claw orchid is an epiphytic cactus, which is often epiphytic on trees or humid valleys in the natural environment, so the cultivation environment requires semi-shade and humidity. Avoid scorching sun and rain in summer, and warm and sunny in winter. The soil needs a mixture of fertile humus, peat, and coarse sand, with a pH of the same.

The suitable temperature of crab claw orchid during the growth period is 18 23 , and the flowering temperature is 10 15 . Watering: It is suitable to be placed in a warm and humid environment, but the potting soil can not be too wet, and the principle of "dry and thorough watering" is pursued, and watering can be done once every 2 to 3 days in the high temperature season, and watering at noon is avoided; In winter, the temperature is low, so you can water once a week, avoid watering in the evening.

Thin fertilizer: After 30 days of frequent cuttings, new leaves can be fertilized as they come out. The EC value is to.

Crab claw orchid likes potassium fertilizer, followed by nitrogen fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. Fertilizers with a ratio of n, p, and k can be used in a ratio of 30 to 15 to 20 or 40 to 20 to 30. Stop fertilization in winter, and foliar sprays of 1000 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid fertilizer can be applied once a week.

Temperature-controlled growth is suitable for 20 to 25 °C. Temperature: When above 22, it is best to use ventilation equipment; When the temperature is above 35 or below 2, the plant will stop growing.

Humidity control: The relative humidity should not exceed 75%. Plant shape controlIn order to obtain a good plant shape, when the plant has more than 3 to 4 stem nodes, it is necessary to shape the plant and remove all the leaves above the 3rd to 4 stem nodes in the lower part. The plants were treated with short days one week after the plant was formed, and flower buds could be seen at 3 weeks.

Flowering period control: Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, and the purpose of controlling the flowering period can be achieved by adjusting the light time. To promote flowering, short-day treatment is initiated 60 to 70 days in advance of the desired flowering time.

8 hours of natural light per day, and the rest of the time is shaded. The light intensity in the shading net should not exceed 5 lux and the temperature should not exceed 25. Pay attention to shading:

It should be carried out continuously, without interruption in between, and the buds can generally be seen after 20 days. The natural flowering period of inhibited flowering crab claw orchid is November and December. The crab claw orchid blooms from November to January, and can bloom for up to a week on a single flower, making it a popular flower for winter viewing for many years.

If you want to bloom during the Spring Festival, you need to take steps to delay the flowering period. Generally, long-day sunshine treatment is carried out in mid-to-late September, and hourly sunshine can be given from 23 o'clock in the evening to l:30 in the morning of the next day. 60 watt incandescent lamps can be installed in the shed, one per meter, and the distance from the plant is 90 cm.

Maintenance precautions.

1. Crab claw orchid is a very phototropic plant, in the process of its growth, if you change its phototropic position, it will have an impact on its growth, especially during the pregnancy bud period, changing its phototropic position may cause dumb buds and falling buds. Therefore, during the maintenance process, do not change its phototropic position frequently.

2. Crab claw orchid is a plant that adapts to weakly acidic soil, and its pH value of adapting to the soil is, too high or too low will affect its growth and the brightness and color of the flower. In general, tap water is neutral or above, so if you water flowers with tap water for a long time, the soil must be alkaline, so ferrous sulfate should be used every half to mediate the soil. The method of this is:

Use 2-3g of ferrous sulfate, add 200-300ml of water, shake evenly, make it fully dissolved, and pour it when the flowers need to be watered. If you have pH test strips, you can use 200-300ml of water, add an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate, adjust to, and pour in when there is a shortage of water.

3. In order to make the flowering of crab claw orchid flourish and bright, after the dormant period of midsummer, fertilizer should be added in time, and the soil can be used with 1:1:1 compound fertilizer. The foliar surface can be sprayed with a solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

Don't accumulate water, and get plenty of sunshine.

Everyone likes crab claw orchid, but it is often not well raised, so it should be maintained in this way.

1. Is crab claw orchid easy to raise?

Many people say that crab claw orchid is not easy to raise, this is because the root system of the crab claw orchid is weak, it is easy to rot the roots if you water more, and it is easy to die of drought if you water less.

Second, the tips for raising crab claw orchids.

1. Watering carefully: When watering the crab claw orchid, you must strictly follow the watering principle of "seeing dry and wet", look at the white surface of the soil, touch the dry surface of the soil, weigh the weight of the potting soil with your hands, and feel that it has become significantly lighter and watered.

2. Light control: crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, many people do not raise flowers, you can try short-day treatment, let crab claw orchid dry for 8 hours a day, and the rest of the time into a small black house to shade the light, so that the treatment for 2 months, crab claw orchid can bloom.

3. Pruning frequently: After each flower failure, the leaves at the top of the residual flowers and stem nodes should be removed, and the leaves should be picked uniformly when picking the leaves, so that the crab claw orchid can soon bloom again, and the flowers are many and neat.

4. More fertilization: Every time the crab claw orchid blooms, it needs to consume a lot of nutrients, so after the flower fails, it is necessary to apply a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to promote its renewal and rejuvenation, and then apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every 15 days.

Crab claw orchid is easy to raise.

Cultivation methods and precautions.

1. Watering appropriately.

The demand for water is not high, so it is necessary to control the amount of watering. In spring and autumn, it is generally watered once a week; In summer, the crab claw orchid will enter the dormant period, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering, keep the soil slightly moist, generally speaking, water 2 or 3 times a week; In winter, it is basically watered once every half a month. If the potting soil is waterlogged, it is easy to rot the roots.

2. The light is suitable.

Crab claw orchid is light-loving, and only with sufficient light can it grow normally and be able to produce flowers. Except for the need to block too strong sunlight in summer, it can be placed in a sunny place in other seasons, and it is best to put it indoors in a sunny place in winter.

3. Control the temperature.

The most suitable temperature for the growth of crab claw orchid is 15 25 °C, and the temperature needs to be controlled between 5 30 °C. You can also control the flowering period of crab claw orchid by controlling the temperature. If the temperature is too high, the crab claw orchid will bloom quickly, but the flowering period will become very short; If the temperature is too low, the flowers will bloom slowly, but the flowering period will be very long, so you need to control the temperature before flowering.

4. Reasonable fertilization.

During the growth period, you can apply a thin pica water-soluble fertilizer every half a month, be sure to pay attention to the dosage, if the fertilizer is too much, it will cause the crab claw orchid to rot roots; However, before flowering, the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and the reduction of nitrogen fertilizer are beneficial to promote the growth of flower buds.

1. Crab claw orchid is easy to cause root rot due to overwatering or poor drainage. Therefore, it is best to plant in a soil with clean, loose coarse sand mixed with peat and decaying leaves.

2. When the light is particularly strong in summer, the crab claw orchid will enter a semi-dormant state, so the number of watering should be reduced compared with spring and autumn, and it is also necessary to avoid water in the pot, otherwise the root system will rot.

3. Don't move your position often, find a suitable environment, and be there all the time. Especially during the bud stage, you can't move the position of the pot casually, which can easily cause flower buds to fall.

4. Although crab claw orchid likes a semi-shady environment, it needs short days to bloom; 5-30 can maintain the normal growth of crab claw orchid, when the room temperature is low, the flowering is slow and the flowering period is long; When the room temperature is high, the flowering is fast and the flowering period is relatively short.

One soil, crab claw orchid prefers loose, breathable, humus-rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

The second is water, although the crab claw orchid likes a warm and humid semi-shaded environment, but there can be no stagnant water in the pot, it must be dry and watered thoroughly, especially in the summer dormant period, it can not be watered more, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots.

The third is fertilizer, crab claw orchid on fertilizer and water requirements are more strict, in the spring and early summer with multi-element compound fertilizer, to promote leaf growth, hot summer dormant period is not fertilizer, after the beginning of autumn with compound fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer alternately, in October the pregnant bud period began to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate to water, the ratio of 1:1000, can be watered, can also spray leaves, to promote flower bud differentiation.

Although crab claw orchid is a negative plant, it likes sunlight very much, so we should let it be exposed to sunlight in spring and autumn

1.The soil needs to be loose and breathable, and the pot should be of the right size with a bottom hole to avoid water accumulation and make the crab claw orchid grow benignly.

2.Crab claw orchid is a sun-loving plant and needs plenty of light in all seasons except in summer.
