How does crab claw orchid raise (domestic raise law), how to water

There are three reasons for the yellowing of leek leaves. One is soil acidification. It likes neutral soil environment, and the leaves will turn yellow when acid fertilizer is applied during the management period. Organic fertilizer should be applied in time to supplement trace elements. Second, the temperature is not suitable, long-term in high temperature environment will yellow leaves, pay attention to more ventilation in summer, more water spray. Third, infected with pests and diseases. Once it is found, it should be sprayed in time and selected with high efficiency and low toxicity.

1. Watering

The root system of the self-rooted cactus orchid is weak and underdeveloped, so we must not water too much, otherwise it is easy to accumulate water and rot the roots, but we must not let the pot soil be too dry, otherwise the leaves of the cactus orchid will wilt and fall.

At ordinary times, you can observe the whitening of the soil surface and feel the dryness of the soil surface. Weigh the weight of the potted soil with your hands. When you feel that it is obviously lighter, use the shower to slowly water the soil thoroughly, or soak the pot for 15 minutes. After watering, you should ensure that there is no water in the tray.

2. Illumination

Zygocactus is a short-day plant. It is sunned for 8 hours every day. The duration of light is not too long or too long, which is conducive to the flowering of the plant. That is to say, in addition to the hot sun in summer and the western sunshine in autumn, it is necessary to properly block the light, and in other seasons, it is possible to bask in the sun more.

3. Temperature

Domestic crab cactus orchid, high temperature in summer, to appropriate shading cooling, autumn and winter temperature stability above 15 can be raised in the open, below 10 to move indoors as soon as possible, low temperature crab cactus orchid leaves will turn red, or even frostbite.

4. Fertilization

In the growth season of spring and autumn, the balanced liquid fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be irrigated once every half month to promote the growth of the plant, the phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used before the flowering period to promote the flowering of the plant, and the fertilization can be stopped after the flowering period to avoid the bud and flower falling of the cactus.

5. Trimming

After each flower failure, the residual flowers and stems and leaves at the top of the crab cactus are pulled out, and a nutritionally balanced fertilizer is applied, and then phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are used, so that the crab cactus can soon bloom again.
