Crabclaw orchid is a very popular leaf-viewing plant and one of the common plants in home decoration. However, many people often encounter various problems when maintaining crabclaw orchids, such as short flowering period, withered leaves, etc. In fact, these problems are all related to watering. The correct watering method can help the crab claw orchid grow and develop better and make its flowers bloom more beautiful.
1. We must first understand the growth environment and characteristics of Crabclaw orchid. Crabclaw orchid is a plant that likes moist and semi-cool environments. When maintaining indoors, pay special attention to ventilation and maintaining appropriate humidity, while avoiding excessive exposure to the sun or being in an overly dark environment.
2. Don't abuse water and fertilizer. Although Crabclaw orchid requires a certain amount of fertilizer, it does not mean that fertilizer must be added every time you water it. Too much water and fertilizer may cause the soil to become too thick, resulting in insufficient oxygen absorption in the roots, which may cause root rot.
3. Check the soil moisture before watering. Before watering, it is best to check the soil moisture first. For crabclaw orchids that have just been watered, you can wait a little for a while before the next watering to avoid excessive watering.
4. It is better to use a transparent pot to plant crab claw orchid, which can help us better observe soil moisture and root condition, so as to better grasp the timing and method of watering.
5. Don't irrigate too much water. Too much water may cause the roots of the crabclaw orchid to rot, which will hinder its growth. When watering each time, the appropriate amount of water should be controlled to avoid the soil being too moist.
6. Maintaining soil moisture balance Crabclaw orchid needs to maintain appropriate soil moisture, otherwise it may affect its growth and flowering. When watering, spray more water mist or use a hygrometer to control soil moisture.
7. Appropriately increase the number of watering times in summer. When the high temperature in summer, the water evaporation rate of crabclaw orchid will accelerate, so it is necessary to increase the number of watering times appropriately. However, be careful not to over-water to avoid causing root rot problems.
8. Reduce the frequency of watering in winter. In winter, the growth rate of crabclaw orchid will slow down, so it is necessary to reduce the frequency of watering and avoid excessive watering. In addition, attention should also be paid to keeping the indoor temperature appropriate and avoiding too low or too high temperatures.
9. Correct watering method When watering, it is best to use a spray can or water bottle, slowly and evenly drop water from the edge of the basin along the soil surface to avoid injecting water directly into the center of the soil. This can help the soil better absorb water, and can also avoid root rot caused by excessive water.
10. Avoid watering too frequently. Crab claw is very sensitive to too frequent watering, which may easily cause damage to the roots and affect growth. When watering, the right time and number of times should be controlled to avoid adverse effects on Crabclaw Orchid.
11. It is better to water with warm water. Watering with warm water can help the crabfish better absorb water and avoid damage to the roots because the water temperature is too low or too high. However, do not use too hot or too cold water to water it, so as not to affect the normal growth of Crabclaw Orchid.
12. Choosing the right soil quality Choosing the right soil quality can help Crabclaw orchid grow better. In general, crabclaw orchids need to choose soil with good permeability and sufficient nutrients to meet their growth and development needs.
13. Pay attention to drainage and drainage is a very important part. It can help the soil better maintain moisture and avoid root rot caused by stagnant water. When planting crabclaw orchids, pay attention to placing drainage holes or stones on the bottom of the basin to ensure smooth drainage.
14. Frequent elimination of weeds and the growth of weeds will affect the growth and development of Crabclaw orchid, and can easily become a hotbed for pests and viruses. When maintaining crabclaw orchids, weeds and dead leaves in the basin soil should be frequently removed to keep the soil clean and tidy.
15. Through the above fifteen maintenance techniques, we can better master the scientific watering method and help the crabclaw orchid grow and develop better. During the usual maintenance process, we must also observe and take patient care to let our crab claw orchid blossom and blossom and increase the beautiful atmosphere of the family.
