How to breed crab claw orchid, how to breed crab claw orchid

The size of the crab claw orchid buds is not grown.

First, the reason for the small amount may be related to the imbalance of fertilization types, insufficient nutrition, low room temperature and other factors. For crab claw orchids that have flower buds, thin fertilizer should be applied every 10 days; Under normal circumstances, for crab claw orchids that have budded, the room temperature should be maintained above 10 in winter, with a little light, and the potting soil should be dry, not too watered or often too wet.

The pruning, budding and binding work of crab claw orchid include: after the spring flowering, it is timely cut off from 3 to 4 stem nodes under the residual flowers, and at the same time some old stems and overly dense stem nodes are thinned to facilitate ventilation and home maintenance; Trim the mouth with a callus antiseptic film to prevent nutrient consumption.

In order to control the excessive size of the plant and make it suitable for indoor furnishing, when the canopy diameter of the whole plant reaches more than 50 cm, the stem nodes can be shortened in spring, and a part of the senescent and overly dense branches can be thinned, and the new branches that grow after thinning will appear tender and green and strong, and the flowering will be more luxuriant. It is important to note that pruning should be done on sunny days, not on rainy days, and not in the summer.

The fertilization of crab claw orchid should pay attention to the following aspects: after the crab claw orchid blooms in March, there is a short period of dormancy, fertilizer should be stopped and water control should be stopped, until new shoots emerge on the stem node, and normal water and fertilizer management should be given; During the growing season, the flowers are applied every half month to promote the hypertrophy of the petals, the rich fragrance of the flowers, and the prolongation of the flowering period.

Crab claw orchid can be repotted every 2 years, usually in March to April, in addition to the bottom of the pot should be padded about 3 cm thick sand and gravel, in order to facilitate water filtration, should also be added to the culture soil containing more phosphorus of rotting poultry pigeon feces, broken bones fish scales, etc., but the root system should not be in direct contact with fertilizer; When the temperature reaches 30 or more, the plant enters a semi-dormant state.

At this time, it should not only avoid the scorching sun and rain, but also put it in a moist and cool place, and at the same time stop fertilizer and control water to prevent the plant from rotting roots; Autumn and winter is the flowering period of the pregnant buds of crab claw orchid, you can see a little sunlight in late September, and then give full light in mid to late October, which can promote flower bud differentiation and more pregnant flower buds, at this time, it is advisable to apply liquid fertilizer with more phosphorus every 7 days to 10 days, and stop fertilizing until flowering.

Hello! Crab claw orchid farming:

1. Soil: When cultivating crab claw orchid, it is necessary to choose loose and breathable soil rich in organic matter.

2. Watering: Watering 1-2 times a week in summer, and suspend watering in winter.

3. Light temperature: Place the crab claw orchid in a sunny place, and control the ambient temperature at about 20.

4. Fertilization: During the growth period of crab claw orchid, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied once a month.

Crab claw orchid breeding should pay attention to watering, light, fertilization, pruning and pests and diseases.

1. Watering. Crab claw orchid is a cactus plant, resistant to slag and drought and not waterlogging, must control watering, keep the soil dry, water at most once a week in winter, water more will drop buds.

2. Illumination. During the growing season, put it on the windowsill, balcony and other brightly lit places to avoid long-term exposure; After flowering, put it in a semi-shaded place to prolong the flowering period.

3. Fertilization. Growth period: When changing pots, the soil is mixed with some well-rotted manure to supplement the base fertilizer; During the growing season, apply a little thin nitrogen fertilizer every month.

Flowering period: 1 month before the flower bud is conceived Liang Qi (generally around September) should apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate every half month; Stop fertilizing after the flower buds are colored.

Dormant period: After the flowers are gone, they will slowly enter the dormant period, and no fertilizer will be applied during the dormant period.

4. Pruning. The crab claw orchid grows very vigorously, and the leaves are too dense to affect the future flowering, so every spring after the flowering, all the branches should be cut off by 60%, and it will look better when the pot bursts next time.

5. Pests and diseases.

Crab claw orchid is easy to be infected with red spiders, once found, immediately remove the diseased leaves, and if it is serious, it is necessary to spray some stone sulfur mixture, which is generally sold in flower shops, and can be used according to the instructions.

In the process of breeding crab claw orchid, the usual maintenance can be properly watered with more water, a little pot soil can be watered, in the peak growth period to control the temperature in about 16 25, not less than 10 on the line, after fertilization to deep plough the soil loosening, so that it is in a soft and moist state, and reasonable repotting treatment.

Reasonable watering is an important step in the breeding method of crab claw orchid, crab claw orchid likes a moist growth environment, usually maintenance can be properly watered with more water, a little pot soil can be watered, do not cause watering, the soil is too dry will cause the flowers and leaves to wilt, the summer temperature is very high is the dormant period of crab claw orchid, this time to water less.

Crab claw orchid has strict requirements for temperature, its growth temperature is 16 25, if the temperature is lower than 10, it will affect the flowering of the plant, higher than 30 will make the crab claw orchid enter a semi-dormant state, so when the summer high temperature weather needs to put the plant in the shade, winter is generally placed indoors.

Crab claw orchid is not the same as other plants, in the planting process, can not use chemical fertilizer, it is best to use special well-rotted organic fertilizer water, fertilization should be based on thin fertilizer, after fertilization to deep plough the soil loosening soil, so that it is in a soft and moist state of the best, in autumn can appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer and water.

The growth rate of crab claw orchid is relatively fast, so it is necessary to change the pot every 3 or 4 months, the soil in the pot should be loose, fertile and slightly acidic sandy soil, and the bottom of the pot should be covered with a layer of fine sand when changing the pot, the roots should be properly pruned, and then re-potted after disinfection, which can be conducive to the growth and development of crab claw orchid in the later stage.

Crab claw orchid generally blooms in spring, at this time we have to cut off the 3 4 stem nodes under the residual flowers, and also cut off the dead branches and residual leaves, and the flowers that look weaker on the stem nodes should also be cut off in time, which can not only keep the plant beautiful, but also make the crab claw orchid grow more vigorously in the later stage.

The temperature is 18°-25°, the sun is 4 hours a day, and the soil is kept moist.

1. Crab claw orchid is temperature-loving and not cold-tolerant, so it should be put in place of 5 for winter. It grows well in 18-25 years, and needs shade for crab claw orchid in summer, drought tolerance and waterlogging tolerance, and it will make crab claw orchid stem yang atrophy under strong sunlight, and it grows well in a slightly acidic environment.

2. After winter, the crab claw orchid will enter the pregnant bud period of flowers, it should be said that the crab claw orchid is placed in a sunny place, and the light time will not be less than 4 hours, you can fertilize flowers like bone fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, and you must also spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for flowers, which will improve the flowering rate of crab claw orchid, and can also increase the humidity of flowers.

3. After the crab claw orchid blooms, don't let the flower soil be very dry, it will make the flower very wet, so that the flowers will bloom very brightly, and will not fall buds, the crab claw orchid will enter a short dormant period after falling, at this stage, the crab claw orchid will change the soil once, and will be fertilized appropriately, and the flower pot soil is moist as well.

What is the reason for the thin and soft leaves of crab claw orchid?

Too much light: The leaves of the crab claw orchid are thin and soft, which may be the reason for too much light, too long to see the light or too strong exposure to light.

Lack of water: It can also be the cause of lack of water, long-term lack of watering, lack of water in the soil, drought, affecting the leaves.

Root rot: It can also be the cause of root rot, such as potting soil compaction, over-watering, and over-fertilization.

Dormant: It may be due to dormancy, where the leaves will become soft and wilted.

Breeding crab claw orchid should provide sufficient light and 15 30 growth temperature, water it when it is dry and wet, and fertilize it once in 10 days to supplement nutrients. Do a good job of pruning branches and leaves, avoid nutrient consumption, and maintain a good ventilation environment to prevent the threat of pests and diseases. It can also be grafted and propagated, and it can grow normally in half a month.

Usually, the crab claw orchid can be placed indoors in a bright place to maintain, so that it can receive sufficient sunlight to grow better, and it can also make it differentiate flower buds and bloom. And keep the growth temperature of crab claw orchid at about 15 30, and do not appear high or low temperature environment, so as to avoid poor growth of crab claw orchid.

Crab claw orchid for water demand is not high, generally see dry and wet to water it, the amount of water should not be too much, so as not to cause its roots to rot due to stagnant water, but also in the breeding process to apply nitrogen fertilizer for 10 days, through thin fertilizer diligent application of nutrients to make it sufficient, to avoid the appearance of thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer.

In the cultivation method of crab claw orchid, it is necessary to pay attention to timely pruning of branches and leaves, keep the normal length of the overly tall or too long branches on the plant, and cut off all the dead branches and diseased branches above, so as to keep enough nutrients and grow strongly.

The growth environment is hot and unventilated, which will not only make the crab claw orchid grow poorly, but also easily lead to the appearance of germs, so it is necessary to do a good job of ventilation to keep its growth environment well ventilated, and also to catch the pests in it, sterilization and insect extermination, so that it can grow healthily.

When cultivating crab claw orchid, it can also be grafted and propagated, and the cactus is selected as the rootstock, and then the 2 4 nodes of the stem are cut. Make a small opening in the cactus, then graft the crab claw orchid, and place it in a ventilated and dry cool place, the wound will heal in about 7 days, and it will start to grow normally in about 15 days.
