Is the grafted crab claw orchid afraid of rain? How long to water grafted crab claw orchid

The grafted crab claw orchid is afraid of rain. The raindrops falling from the sky are very cool, and if the cold rain is directly drenched, the leaves of the crab claw orchid will fall off in a large area, and it can only fall away.

The root system of crab claw orchid itself is underdeveloped, and it is often grafted on other plants of the cactus family, with the help of the strong root system of other plants to achieve the purpose of rapid growth and rapid flowering. Leaf Fairy is an excellent grafted rootstock with an exceptionally developed root system, and the crab claw orchid can grow quickly with the help of the strong root system of Leaf Immortal, flowering quickly, and is easy to survive the dormant period in summer.

Leaf fairy is a plant that prefers a warm environment, but is particularly afraid of cold. It grows especially vigorously in the three seasons of spring, autumn and summer, and in winter it is afraid of cold and sleeps. But Ye Xian is not afraid of heat, the temperature is higher than thirty-five or six degrees, it can still grow normally, and it grows very fast in summer.

However, the crab claw orchid begins to enter a dormant state when it is higher than 323 degrees. When we maintain the crab claw orchid grafted with leaf fairy, we should not lack it according to the growth habits, watering and fertilization of the leaf first, because the leaf fairy in summer has been in a state of growth, and the lack of water will cause its growth to stagnation.

Because the leaf fairy grows all the time, its root system is not dormant, so it will also continuously supply the crab claw orchid with nutrients, so that the growth of the crab claw orchid can be maintained continuously. As long as the temperature is not particularly high, not higher than 378 degrees, crab claw orchids can also grow leaves in summer.

In the summer maintenance of the leaf fairy grafted crab claw orchid or the self-rooted crab claw orchid, there is a special need to pay attention, that is, do not rain, because the temperature in summer is particularly hot, but the raindrops fall from the sky is particularly cool, if you directly drench the cool rain, so that the leaves of the crab claw orchid will fall off in a large area, and it can only fall light.

Therefore, the crab claw orchid we maintain should be protected from the rain as much as possible in summer and avoid sun exposure. In the case of high temperatures, try to put it in a well-ventilated place, as long as it grows vigorously, its grafted leaves will continue to grow, and in autumn it will continue to bud.

This is a degree that the self-rooted crab claw orchid cannot reach, and the grafting is more magical. It is also the wisdom of the ancients to merge two different plants into one plant, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and maintain them simply, with long flowering and many leaves.

Watering the freshly grafted crab claw orchid needs to be done according to the moisture and dryness of the soil, and if the soil is dry, it needs to be watered immediately. The amount of watering should be changed according to the different seasons, and the soil should not be waterlogged. If you are overwatering, it is best to move the plant to a ventilated place in time to speed up the evaporation of water.

1. Watering time

The newly grafted crab claw orchid is very fragile, so it is necessary to avoid waterlogging when watering, it is best to observe the dryness and humidity of the soil when watering, if the soil is dry, it needs to be watered immediately, in short, it is necessary to keep the soil in a slightly moist state, so as to facilitate the survival and growth of the grafted crab claw orchid.

2. Watering method

Different seasons to the crab claw orchid watering methods are also different, spring and autumn is its vigorous growth period, can be watered once in 2-3 days, in summer to keep the soil slightly moist at the same time, need to sprinkle water around the plant, increase air humidity, winter plant evaporation of water is less, it is best to water once in about 10 days.

3. Precautions

In the rainy season, you need to reduce the amount of watering, otherwise it is easy to produce waterlogging, and you should not water too much during the flowering period, otherwise it will easily cause it to fall flowers and buds. If you accidentally overwater, you need to move the plants to a ventilated place in time to speed up the evaporation of water.

After grafting, you need to wait a week before watering. Do not touch water for the first week to avoid infection of the wound. After the grafting is completed, the growth period can be watered every 2-3 days, and the dormant period in summer can maintain a certain degree of humidity, and the winter will remain dry.

After the grafting of the crab claw orchid, place it in a cool and ventilated place indoors, and do not let the joint come into contact with water for a week. If the potting soil is relatively dry, you can water a little along the perimeter of the pot wall to keep the potting soil slightly moist.

1. Watering method of crab claw orchid

1. Spring and autumn watering

Spring and autumn is the most vigorous growth period for crab claw orchids, which require more water. You can water every 2-3 days to keep the potting soil moist and not waterlogged. Wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to keep them clean and breathable.

2. Watering in summer

Summer is the dormant period of crab claw orchid, so it is necessary to reduce watering, place it in a cool position, and spray water around it and on the foliage to maintain a certain degree of moisture and effectively reduce the temperature.

3. Winter watering

In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, the water evaporation of potting soil is relatively slow, so it is necessary to gradually reduce watering. When the potting soil is about to dry, water appropriately to keep the environment slightly moist. If it is not dry, there is no need to water, and the water temperature must be almost the same as the soil temperature.

After grafting, it is necessary to water appropriately and keep the potting soil slightly wet. The grafting of crab claw orchid is only the first step of grafting and propagation, and future management is also very important for the survival of crab claw orchid.

1. Do a good job of shading and avoiding light. The crab claw orchid that has just been received is very easy to wilt due to excessive water loss because it has just been reborn from the plant, so it must be moved to the shade of the rock bureau at this time to reduce the evaporation of water.

2. After grafting, it is necessary to water appropriately and keep the potting soil slightly wet. In general, water once every three or four days, and be careful when watering to avoid water entering the incision.

3. Timely fertilization. After grafting, if it still does not wilt after half a month, it means that it has survived, and it can be fertilized appropriately after one month to provide the nutrients needed for plant growth in time.

4. Set up a frame in time. After the crab claw orchid is grafted to survive, because of its soft stem, it should be fixed and properly tied in time during its growth process to maintain the integrity and beauty of the plant shape.

5. It is necessary to prevent diseases and treat insects in time.

1) Crab claw orchid is susceptible to rot disease. If there is a rot disease, it can be scraped off with a sterilized knife and disinfected with sulfur powder. 2) The insect pests of crab claw orchid are mainly scale insects and aphids.

If it occurs, when the quantity is small, it can be removed with a brush; When the quantity is large, you can spray 1000 times the liquid of 40% dimethoate EC or 50% pine moth EC, and spray it again every 20 days. You can also use laundry detergent to add water according to the weight ratio of 1:150, spray every 5 days after stirring, and spray 2-3 times in a row to prevent coarse stupidity.

3) Usually keep the wind and light, often clean the surface of the stem, after the formation of flower buds to avoid direct rain spraying, because crab claw orchid to dozens or even hundreds of flowers concentrated once open to look good, the most taboo size buds continue to open, not into momentum, help this each leaf tip only leave a flower bud, the rest removed, the size of the bud is a segment, remove the small buds.

6. In addition, pay attention not to move the flower pot at will during the flowering period, otherwise it will cause broken stems and cause falling flowers and buds.

Abstract Its growth temperature is between 18 degrees and 23 degrees, and if the temperature can be controlled within the growth range during winter grafting, it can be carried out, but it can be successful only if the method is correct. When grafting, cacti or triangular edges are usually used as rootstocks, and cuttings should be cut from the sturdy mother plant, and the lower stem nodes should be cut into duck beaks, and then directly inserted into the cutting door to fix it. After completion, put it in the shade, do not water it for half a month, and you can see whether it is successful for half a month.

Can crab claw orchid be grafted in winter.

Hello, I have seen your question and am sorting out the answer, please wait for a while Its growth temperature is between 18 degrees and 23 degrees, and if the temperature can be controlled within the growth range during winter grafting, it can be carried out, but it must be ensured that the method is correct to be successful. When grafting, cacti or triangular edges are usually used as rootstocks, and cuttings should be cut from the sturdy mother plant, and the lower stem nodes should be cut into duck beaks, and then directly inserted into the cutting door to fix it. After completion, put it in the shade, do not water it for half a month, and you can see whether it is successful for half a month.

Hopefully, I hope the above will help you If you are satisfied with me, please give a thumbs up, thank you

1. Whether the growth temperature of crab claw orchid can be between 18 degrees and 23 degrees, and the temperature should be controlled within its growth range during grafting. If the temperature can be guaranteed, grafting can be carried out in winter, but the method should be paid attention to when grafting, the method is correct, and the temperature is suitable to be successful.

Second, grafting method 1, the selection of rootstock: usually choose triangular ridge or cactus as rootstock, strong vitality, pay attention to each pot is best to plant only one plant, to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients and growth space.

2. Treatment of scion: select a healthy mother plant, cut two to five stem nodes from the top, and then cut the bottom section into the shape of a duck's beak, with a surface of about three centimeters, and cut it with a knife.

3. Insert the rootstock: After the cutting surface is eliminated, it should be inserted into the cutting door of the rootstock and aligned with the pith center. The long spines of the cactus are then pierced into the junction to help secure it, which can be clamped with clips.

4. Later maintenance: After the grafting is completed, it should be placed in the shade, and it should not be watered within half a month to avoid the grafting joint from being stained with water and rotting. Whether the grafting is successful or not can be seen after half a month.
