After several inquiries, I learned that many pots of crab claw orchids in my friend's house were obtained by cutting without spending a penny. Huahua hurriedly asked him about the secret of cutting success. It turned out that if he touched a little "it" during cutting, the flower roots would come out soon

Friends say "it" is the famous rooting water made of willow branches. Willow branch is a very common thing in our life. It can be seen by the river or roadside. It has to be said that the vitality of willow is very tenacious. It can almost be said that it lives in water. But why can willow branches be used to take root? The reason is that willow branches contain a lot of acidic substances, which can promote the growth of plants like "hormones". Therefore, the water made of willow branches is called rooting water

The production process of willow rooting water is very simple. We first prune the collected willow branches into small segments of about 8 cm, and then wash them in water. Will the cleaned willow branch look much cleaner than before? At this time, we need to dry it. After drying, we can directly add water for closed fermentation. At the same time, we can mash the willow branch and then add water for closed fermentation. This will have a better effect

Fermentation can be used in almost half a month. Willow rooting water has many uses. It can be dipped in a little when cutting plants to help take root. It can also be used as thin fertilizer water every half month to promote the growth of plants. In addition, if you want to keep crab claw orchid well, you should also pay attention to measuring the light and watering on weekdays

Crab claw orchid generally likes to grow in a semi shady environment. Summer is its dormancy period. Therefore, if there is strong light irradiation, it must be "sunscreen". Autumn is the growth period of crab claw orchid. At this time, you can move it to the balcony to receive some nutrients brought by the sun. Pay attention to heat preservation in winter to avoid freezing injury

Crab claw orchid cannot be watered too much, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot. Crab claw orchid may feel wilted in summer. At this time, it is not because of water shortage, but enters the dormancy period. During the dormancy period, it should not be watered too much, otherwise there will be ponding, which is normal. In autumn, you can keep the frequency of watering crab claw once every 3-4 days, which can improve its growth rate

That's all about the maintenance methods of crab claw orchid. If flower friends have better methods to maintain crab claw orchid, leave a message to flower in the comment area. We can learn the methods of flower cultivation together
