Using a section of crab claw orchid can also be used for cutting. As long as it is properly maintained, it can survive. Usually when cutting, strong branches with 3-7 knots are used, disinfected and then dried. Prepare some loose and clean soil, which must also be disinfected before use. Insert the branch into the soil for 1.5 knots and water it appropriately.

If there are no conditions, it is also possible to use a section of crab claw cuttings. If you maintain it slowly, it will grow well. However, if possible, it is still recommended to use branches with many branches for propagation. Such branches will take root faster after cutting and have a relatively higher survival rate.

1. Pruning: Cut a branch with 3-7 nodes from a plant in good growth condition, and just cut it off at the node position. It should be noted that it is best to use the scissors after sterilization, and the cuts should be as smooth as possible.

2. Soil preparation: Prepare the substrate before cutting. It is best to use fertile, loose soil. Soil mixed with leaf mold soil, peat soil and coarse sand can be used.

3. Disinfection: after pruning the branches and leaves It is best to apply some carbendazim on the wound to prevent infection after cutting, and then place it on a paper towel to dry. In addition, the prepared substrate must also be sterilized, usually by high temperature sterilization.

4. Cuttings: Insert the sterilized branches into the soil for 1.5 knots. After the soil dries, just water them appropriately. If the growth is good, flowers will bloom in the second year.
