1. Winter is the growing season of crabmail, but the temperature is relatively low, the water evaporation is slow, and the watering should not be too much. Keep the soil moist, usually water once every 4-5 days. Choose the midday when the temperature is a little higher to avoid low temperature and icing.
2. In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporation is fast. Although it is covered with shade, the basin soil is still easy to dry. Water once a day or two. Regular spraying water on the leaves can not only ensure the normal growth of plants, but also prevent heatstroke.
3. Water normally in spring and autumn, once in 2-3 days.
Fertilization was mainly carried out from September to October and April to June, and rotten animal manure or cake fertilizer was applied once every 10 days. No watering before fertilization. The basin soil is dry and the fertilizer effect is better.
In spring, when the branches and leaves germinate, more leaf fertilizer is applied, mainly nitrogen fertilizer; in summer, stop fertilization; in autumn, mainly phosphorus fertilizer, promote flower bud differentiation.
The most suitable growth temperature of crabmail is 15-25 ℃. Summer appropriate shade cooling, autumn best move to the indoor sunny place for maintenance.
In winter, when the indoor temperature is kept at 15 ℃, it will be frostbitten if it is lower than 5 ℃. Sunny day can accept a little direct sunlight, cold at night can be covered with large plastic bags to prevent frostbite.
Crab claw orchid is a short sunshine plant. If it can receive 8-10 hours of light every day, it can bloom in February to March. In a word, long light can promote growth, while short light can hinder growth!
1. There is a period of dormancy after crabmeat orchid. At this time, it is necessary to control water and stop fertilization. After dormancy, the flower buds grow and return to normal management. In addition, in summer, because of the high temperature, crabmail is in the protection of itself, and will be forced to enter the dormancy period. At this time, properly reduce the watering and strengthen the ventilation, and the growth will gradually resume after the temperature rises.
2. In the growth process, because of the nutrient consumption of Christmas Cactus itself, the leaves will become soft after flower falling, which is a normal phenomenon. But the state of Christmas Cactus after flowering is relatively poor. It is necessary to control the water quantity and avoid rotten roots. During plant recovery, the top of wilted leaves can be cut off.
3. The Christmas Cactus can not be exposed to the sun, which will burn the plant, causing the stem and leaf to wither and fall off or even die.
