Crab claw orchids need to be repotted in spring, specifically in March and April after the flowers bloom. At this time, the climate and temperature are suitable. Repotting can not only reduce damage, but also promote faster recovery. If the maintenance time is long and the pot is not repotted, the growing space will be insufficient and the soil will be easily compacted, which will hinder the growth and may even lead to few or no flowering. In addition, pay attention to the repotting method.

1. Does crab claw orchid need to be repotted in spring?

Crab claw orchid needs to be repotted in spring. The specific time is after the flowers bloom every year, that is, in March and April. The climate and temperature at this time are more suitable. Repotting can reduce damage to the plants and help them adapt and resume growth faster. If the pot is not repotted, the growing space may not be sufficient after one year, and the soil will easily become compacted, which will hinder later growth, and may even result in reduced or no flowering. Therefore, it takes one or two years to repot in spring.

II , How to repot

When repotting, loosen the soil first and be careful not to damage the root system. Then dig up the plant, or just break the pot and take out the plant. After taking it out, trim off some old roots, dead roots, rotten roots, and weak roots, and disinfect and dry them in the sun. After treatment, it can be potted and planted in new potting soil. The potting soil must be breathable and loose. The new pot must be larger than the original pot. Only in such a potting soil environment can it grow vigorously in the later period.
