How to plant crab claw orchid

1. Cutting time

The right time for cuttings is the basis for survival. It can be chosen in November in autumn, or after the flowers have faded in spring. These two time periods are good times for cuttings, which are helpful for survival and can increase the survival rate.

2. Cutting method

1. Cut branches: Choose a healthy plant, disinfect the scissors prepared in advance, and then cut off the leaf-like stems at 3-7 nodes on the branch. The ones you choose must be in good condition and full of vitality. After cutting it, you cannot use it for cuttings immediately. You need to put it aside to let the cut dry. You can put a clean paper towel underneath. This will take about a few days.

2. Prepare the substrate: The substrate used for cuttings should be breathable. It can be a mixture of peat soil and river sand, or clean perlite. Pour enough water into it to keep it slightly moist, but there should be no water accumulation.

3. Carry out cuttings: Insert the dried stems into the substrate. Pay attention to the depth, about 3 cm, and do not insert it too shallow. After cuttings, water them to keep them moist and cover them with plastic film.

4. Later maintenance: Keep it in a diffuse light environment. Water it when the soil in the pot is dry. It will take root in about a few weeks.
