How to raise crab claw orchid in winter to be more vigorous

This year's winter has come, and the crab claw orchid has also entered the full flowering period, at this time, the maintenance and management of the crab claw orchid is not only related to whether the crab claw orchid can safely overwinter, but also related to whether the crab claw orchid can bloom normally. Today, I would like to share with you a few practical tips for winter maintenance of crab claw orchids, I hope it will be helpful to you.

The first is to stop fertilizing and conservative raising. In winter, although the crab claw orchid still has the task of flowering, and also needs a certain amount of nutrients to ensure flowering, but as far as the whole crab claw orchid plant is concerned, as the temperature continues to drop, the crab claw orchid will slowly enter a dormant or semi-dormant state, and the demand for fertilizer will be greatly reduced. If the crab claw orchid is continuously fertilized in winter and autumn, the metabolism of fertilizer will also be reduced due to the slowing down of plant growth activities, and continuous fertilization will inevitably cause a large backlog of fertilizer, which will lead to the occurrence of root burning and rotting roots.

The second is to increase the light and actively nourish. Crab claw orchid is a negative plant, and it is also a short-day plant, with a long light time, and it is difficult to form flower buds; Too short a light time is not conducive to the growth and development of plants and flower buds. Therefore, in winter, for crab claw orchids, it is necessary to strengthen light and promote healthy growth; It is also necessary to properly control the light to promote the formation of flower buds.

Generally, when the sun is abundant during the day and the indoor light is strong at night, the light should be completely covered at night to promote the formation and development of flower buds. In addition, the direction of the pot should be rotated once every half a month to make it evenly exposed to sunlight and maintain the uniform development of plant shape and flower buds.

Here we should remind everyone that the suitable temperature for the growth of crab claw orchid is 15 22, but when pregnant buds, if the room temperature is too low, it will inhibit the formation of flower buds. In addition, during the pregnancy bud period, if the temperature difference between day and night is too large, it will also cause damage or budding of the pregnant flower buds, which will affect the flowering. Therefore, in winter, crab claw orchid should be placed indoors in a sunny place to avoid excessive temperature difference between day and night.

The third is to control watering and passive nutrient. In winter, you should take a careless attitude when watering the crab claw orchid, and don't want to water it from time to time. Although crab claw orchid prefers a humid environment, watering crab claw orchid in winter must be strictly controlled, if the watering is too much, the temperature is low, and the potting soil is too wet to easily cause root rot.

In winter, when the temperature is lower than 12, the crab claw orchid will enter a dormant or semi-dormant state, at this time, it is necessary to make the potting soil dry rather than wet, and it is better to keep it in a dry state. In winter, the air is relatively dry, and the plants and their surroundings should be sprayed appropriately to increase the air humidity of the environment where the crab claw orchid is located.

1. Keep warm: When breeding crab claw orchid in winter, it needs to be moved to a 10-15 environment. 2. Watering:

In winter, the water evaporates slowly, so it is necessary to suspend watering and keep the soil dry to prevent the crab claw orchid from rotting in water. 3. Light: Place the crab claw orchid in a bright place to receive all-weather natural light to enhance the cold tolerance of the plant.

1. Keep warm inside

Crab claw orchid is a kind of cold-tolerant plant, the temperature in winter is lower than 10, it is easy to produce frost damage, so the winter maintenance of crab claw orchid, you need to move it to a warm place indoors for maintenance, and also do a good job of temperature control measures, it is best to control the temperature between 10-15, which is also conducive to its flowering.

2. Reduce watering

Although crab claw orchid likes to grow in a humid environment, it is not resistant to waterlogging, and the water evaporates slowly in winter, if it is watered too much, it is easy to produce rotten roots, so the plant is easy to die, so it is necessary to reduce watering in winter, keep the soil slightly moist, and pay attention to the water temperature to be almost the same as room temperature.

3. Sufficient light

Winter maintenance crab claw orchid, but also need to let it have enough light, this time is its flowering time, if the light is insufficient, it is easy to drop flowers and buds, and the flowers will not be bright and beautiful enough, so at this time to let it have enough scattered light irradiation, so that the plant can grow robustly, and the flowering time can also be extended.

Crab claw orchid is in the flowering period in winter, at this time it is necessary to give more than 8 hours of light to make its flower buds continue to differentiate, and the temperature needs to be controlled at 10 15 to keep warm, master the principle of watering the soil rather than dry, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every half a month, and the temperature is lower than 15 You need to stop fertilization, and you also need to prune it properly.

Crab claw orchid generally blooms in winter, and if you want the flowers of crab claw orchid to bloom more bright and beautiful, then you need to give crab claw orchid sunlight in winter, generally in winter to give crab claw orchid more than 8 hours of light, so that its flower buds continue to differentiate, but also to prevent crab claw orchid from frostbite at low temperature.

Although crab claw orchid blooms in winter, it does not mean that crab claw orchid is cold-resistant, it generally grows well in 20 25, if the temperature is not controlled in winter to keep warm, then the flowering period may end early, and the temperature needs to be controlled at 10 15 in winter to keep warm, and the temperature must not be lower than 10.

Crab claw orchid in winter is not dormant period but flowering period, so how to raise crab claw orchid in winter, you need to master the principle of watering the soil rather dry than wet, do not water it in large quantities, but also apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every half a month, when the temperature is lower than 15, do not need to fertilize it.

In general, the flowers of the crab claw orchid will continue to bloom and wither in winter, during this time period, the flower buds on the branches can be cut off, and the full and fat flower buds can be retained, and then the dense part of the growth can be cut off, which can reduce nutrient consumption and help the crab claw orchid bloom and overwinter.

Hello! Crab claw orchid will bloom full of branches if it is well maintained in winter.

The flowering time of crab claw orchid can be extended from winter to spring, making it a rare winter flowering variety. It has a special appearance, and the tips of the jagged branches are covered with colorful small flowers, and it is very lively to look at.

In order for crab claw orchids to bloom in large quantities at the right time, it is inevitable to control the maintenance temperature. In winter, because the outside temperature is low, in order to ensure its flowering number and growth rate, it is best to control the maintenance temperature at about 15 degrees Celsius, and then put it in a place with sufficient scattered light source for maintenance, because the light in winter is softer, and the nutrients provided after irradiation can help the crab claw orchid grow strongly.

The word bud thinning may seem unfamiliar, but it actually means to help crab claw orchid loosen the density of buds. Because of the rapid growth rate of crab claw orchid, there are generally multiple small flower buds at the top of branches and leaves or in other stem nodes, so it is best to keep only one or two flower buds in a stem node. Because the number of flower buds is too large, it means that the distribution of nutrients will be uneven, which may cause the flower buds to bloom small and not dense.

Crab claw orchid needs to be pruned in time after the flowers have fallen, and sometimes we prune the fallen flowers to help it bloom again. Because there will be long branches during the growth process, and some residual flowers and rotten branches are hung on the potted plant, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also absorbs excess nutrients, resulting in the uneven growth of the whole crab claw orchid, so in order to grow, we need to prune off the residual flowers and rotten branches of the crab claw orchid in time!

Of course, in addition to the above 3 small methods, we must ensure that the soil in the pot is slightly moist when we maintain the crab claw orchid daily, and the crab claw orchid must control the water before it grows and sprouts, so as to ensure that its flowers are large and vigorous.

1.Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, which should be shaded and maintained in summer, and bask in the sun after the autumn is cool, but the light duration should be controlled to be 8-10 hours a day.

2.In winter, the potted plants are moved indoors for maintenance, and the maintenance temperature is controlled at about 15, and the soil for planting crab claw orchids is close to dry before watering.

3.In the lifetime period of crab claw orchid, you can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizer every half month, change to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering, prune the residual flowers after flower failure, and apply thin fertilizer frequently to promote its renewal and rejuvenation.

The appearance of the crab claw orchid is very special, so it is also loved by people, but if the crab claw orchid is not properly managed in winter, the growth of the next spring will not be good, so don't ignore the winter management of the crab claw orchid.

Crab claw orchid crab claw orchid should be placed indoors to a sunny place in winter. Prune properly to make the plant shape even. Excessive flower buds should be removed to avoid wilting of the flower buds at the top of the stem nodes due to lack of nutrients.

Apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate every ten days before flowering, bury it in the soil shallowly along the edge of the pot, and do not lean on the roots, so as not to burn the roots. You can also use 1:5 of the rotted bean cake water.

Potting soil is seen in wetness, and it is better to water less before flowering. Keep the room temperature at about 15 (not less than 10), and it can bloom around the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, the crab claw orchid gradually weakens and begins to enter the dormant period, so that the remaining flowers can be cut off and the plant shape is trimmed in order to bloom gorgeous and colorful flowers next year.

Place the pot on the balcony or in a window ventilation area around the vernal equinox, and take care to avoid the rain. The potting soil should be drier and the plants should be sprayed frequently to make the branches brighter.
