1、 Breeding method:

1. Soil

It is best to use breathable and soft soil for breeding crab claw orchid. The prepared soil can be exposed to the sun to achieve the effect of sterilization

2. Watering

The watering time of crab claw orchid should be changed according to the changes of seasons. Generally, it is OK to water it once every 4-5 days in winter. Because the temperature is relatively high in summer and the soil is easy to become dry, the watering time should be shortened to once every 1-2 days

3. Fertilization

Do not water before fertilizing the crab claw orchid. The effect of fertilization is the best when the soil is dry, and fertilization is generally concentrated between September and October and April and June

4. Illumination

Crab claw orchid is a plant with short sunshine. Short illumination time can greatly promote its growth, but long illumination time will hinder its growth

5. Temperature

The optimum temperature is between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃. When the temperature is high in summer, it should be cooled appropriately, while in winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained at 15 ℃ as far as possible, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃

2、 Pest control:

If the air is dry and the ventilation is not good, the crab claw orchid is easy to breed red spiders and scale insects. Therefore, when raising it, pay attention to give it better ventilation conditions, and spray water in time to increase air humidity. When pests are found, they should be handled in time
