How to water crab claw orchid
1. Watering in spring and autumn
Depending on the season, crab claw orchid has different water needs. Season is the growth period of crab claw orchid. The plant has a large demand for water. It can be watered once every 2-3 days. Observe the soil moisture when watering. It is best to keep it in a slightly moist state. Control the amount of watering according to the temperature.
2. Watering in summer
In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly, so watering should be done frequently. Generally, you can water once a day when the weather is dry and hot. At the same time, water needs to be sprinkled around the plants to increase the air humidity, which can quickly replenish water to the leaves and also have a cooling effect to help the plants survive high temperature weather.
3. Watering in winter
Reduce the amount of watering in winter. The temperature is low during this season and it is difficult for water to evaporate. Moreover, the plant enters the dormant period and its need for water becomes very small. You can water it every 10 days or so. It is most suitable to keep the soil slightly dry. This also helps the plants survive the winter safely.
4. Precautions
When watering, try not to let the leaves get too much water. No one can water too much when the crab claw orchid is blooming, so as not to accelerate the flower withering. When watering in summer, it is best to do it in the evening to avoid the temperature being too high and burning the plants. In winter, you can water at noon to keep the water temperature and air temperature the same.
