The methods of cultivating crab-leg orchids in summer are as follows:

1. Pot soil

To grow crab-leg orchids, pottery pots should be used because pottery pots are more breathable. Good, and choose a cultivation soil with good drainage to ensure good water and air permeability. Repot the crab claw orchid every two years.

2. Temperature

Crabfoot orchid is a plant that likes warmth, and the optimal growth temperature is between 15 and 25°C. It is best to cultivate crab-foot orchids on a ventilated balcony or under the eaves, but they must be shaded and protected from rain in summer.

3. Light

Summer sunshine is also the key to the growth of crab claw orchid, and moderate shading is also necessary. Pay attention to proper shading in normal times. Under normal circumstances, 50% of the shade should be provided, and no sunlight should be seen at all.

4. Fertilization

After new shoots grow on the stem nodes, apply thin nitrogen fertilizer once every half a month, being careful not to pour it on the leaves. Pay attention to applying decomposed animal manure to increase fertility, but do not touch the roots to avoid fertilizer damage. For normal maintenance, you only need to fertilize once every half month. It is not advisable to fertilize in summer, otherwise it will easily cause rot.

5. Watering

Although the temperature is high in summer and shade is provided, the pot soil is still easy to dry. Generally, watering is done once every 1 to 2 days. In summer, you can spray water on the leaves frequently, which can not only prevent heatstroke and reduce the temperature, but also make the plants grow well.
