The flowers of the crab claw orchid are graceful and delicate, bright and moving, and are deeply loved by people, and can make people feel happy when they are watched. However, many people encounter problems such as slow growth and difficulty flowering in the process of maintaining crab claw orchids. To solve these problems, the old gardener summed up a practical mantra:"The soil should be loose, and the drainage should be smooth and breathable. Plenty of sunshine and shade in summer. Watering should be appropriate to keep the potting soil moist. Fertilization should be applied thinly, and thick and excessive should be avoided. The temperature should be suitable, too high and too low to hurt. Pests and diseases should be prevented and controlled, and drugs should be used in time to prevent them. ”
According to this formula, we can know that the maintenance of crab claw orchid needs to pay attention to the following points:
1. When selecting soil, it is necessary to ensure that it is loose and has good drainage and air permeability. To do this, we can mix humus, garden soil and river sand to create the right soil.
2. Crab claw orchid needs plenty of sunlight, but the scorching sun in summer may cause damage to it, so it needs proper shading.

5. Suitable temperature is also the key. Crab claw orchid is suitable for growing in the temperature range of 15-25, and we should try to avoid too high or too low temperature to affect the health of the plant.
6. It is essential to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. We need to check the health of the plants regularly, and if we find signs of pests and diseases, we need to take timely measures to control them.
