Crab claw orchid is more strict to basin soil requirement, requirement soil is loose and fertile, drainage is better, and still have certain water holding capacity..
Because Christmas Cactus is cactus plant, so it has the habit of not resisting water and humidity, but it is afraid of drought. In the breeding process, water management to keep the pot soil moist, not too dry nor too wet.
Crab claw orchid requires scattering light, it is afraid of direct sunlight, but also does not tolerate excessive shade. If it is too dark, the branches will become thin and grow thin.
In the breeding period, the management of fertilizer and water also needs to be meticulous. Generally speaking, it is OK to give it a thin nitrogen fertilizer every ten days. We should master the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently, rather thin than thick, otherwise once we apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, we will have rotten roots and leaves falling off.
Crab claw orchid in the maintenance of the temperature requirements, in general is below 30 degrees, 6 degrees above, so that it can grow normally in this environment. 2 degrees below will appear frost damage, 30 degrees above high temperature is also bad performance, so in the maintenance period to pay attention to temperature control.
We should pay attention to the loose and fertile soil, the fine management of water and fertilizer, it has a strong phototropism, and the angle of each turning basin should not be too large in the maintenance process, especially after the emergence of flower buds, the angle of each turning basin should be small, and the phenomenon of falling buds will appear if the angle is too large.
