Generally, the flowers of hawthorn bloom downwards, while those cultivated indoors bloom upwards.
So, when will the crab claw orchid blossom? What are the breeding methods and precautions of crab claw orchid? Let's have a look.
When does the crab claw orchid bloom? When does the crab claw orchid bloom normally? Generally, it begins to bloom in late autumn (10), and it can also bloom in early spring (February), but it can't bloom in mid-winter when the temperature is low. If it is cultivated artificially and indoors, the crab claw orchid can also bloom in winter.
The cultivation method of crab claw orchid is crab claw orchid 1, and it is most suitable to cultivate crab claw orchid in loose and fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability for soil preparation. The proportion of vegetable garden soil and slag, peat, perlite and ceramsite can be selected for household configuration.
2. The temperature is suitable. The suitable growth temperature of Crataegus pinnatifida is 15 ~ 32℃, and it can't stand high temperature, especially afraid of sultry, so Crataegus pinnatifida must be kept in a cool and ventilated place in summer.
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 10℃ in winter, put a plastic bag on the crab claw orchid to keep warm.
3. Sufficient sunshine Except in summer, Crab claw orchid can receive direct sunlight in other seasons. In summer, you can move them out to bask in the sun every morning before the sun comes out completely, usually after 9 o'clock and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
4. Watering frequency In the breeding methods and precautions of crab claw orchid, the problem of watering is easily overlooked. Clark Lauland likes humid environment, so when the temperature is high in summer and the water evaporates quickly, it should be watered every 2 ~ 3 days and every 4 ~ 5 days in spring and autumn.
Reduce the amount of water in winter and water it once a week.
5. Fertilize the crab claw orchid reasonably during the growth period, and apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once every half month, and add 1 ~ 2 times of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn.
Crab claw orchid will have a short dormancy after flowering, so it needs to stop fertilization and start fertilization after new buds grow on its stem nodes. Pay attention to the prohibition of fertilization in winter.
Pay attention to loose and fertile soil and carefully manage water and fertilizer, which has strong phototropism. In the process of maintenance, the angle of rotating the pot should not be too large, especially after budding, the angle of rotating the pot should be small every time, and if the angle is too large, the bud will drop.
