Key Points for Caring for蟹爪兰 All Year Round, Winter being the Most Critical
As soon as winter arrives, all plants seem to become more precious, with the cold weather and extremely low temperatures posing the main threats to them. Do you know how to care for蟹爪兰 during winter? And how should we care for it during other seasons? Let's find out the key points for caring for蟹爪兰 all year round, with winter being the most critical.
Because the temperature in winter is relatively low, we need to move蟹爪兰 to an indoor environment with a temperature of around 15 degrees. If the temperature is below 6 degrees or above 25 degrees, it will affect the growth of蟹爪兰. Moreover,蟹爪兰 is a short-day plant that can only receive sunlight during the day, and at night, we need to move蟹爪lan to a dark place, which is conducive to the formation of flower buds. When watering蟹爪lan in winter, do not water too much because water evaporates slowly in winter. To prevent root rot, we can spray water on蟹爪lan, keeping the plant moist helps in forming more flower buds.
In spring and autumn, the key point in caring for蟹爪lan is fertilization, as these are the peak growing seasons for蟹爪lan, and we must pay attention to the timing of fertilization. Outdoors, the watering interval is shorter on sunny or hot days and longer on cloudy or cold days, or not watering at all. Indoors, the interval is longer on cloudy or cold days or not watering at all.
Because summer is usually a season of high temperatures,蟹爪lan enters a dormant period in summer, so fertilizers and water are not very important. We just need to control the fertilization and watering. The interval for fertilizing and watering is about every 3-5 days for outdoor care and every 4-7 days for indoor care. And attention should be paid to the weather changes and adapt accordingly. Watering should be done in the morning or evening when the temperature is lower. It's also important to mist the plant regularly.
