Generally, it is best to pollinate when the petals first bloom, and the fruit is easy to hang after pollination, but the temperature should be kept above 65438 05℃ in winter to ensure the normal development of the fruit. The fruit ripens in July and August, and the ripe seeds can be sown after harvest. The cultivation substrate is mixed with peat soil and ceramic materials at the ratio of 2∶ 1, and sterilized with high temperature or drugs before application. When planting seedlings, you can use a seedling tray of appropriate size. When planting, you should tamp and scrape the cultivation substrate with a wooden board, spray water with a watering can first, and then plant the seeds evenly in the seedling tray substrate. Cover the seedbed with plastic film, keep the substrate moist, control the temperature at 20℃ ~ 22℃, and pay attention to shading in broad daylight when the sun is too strong. It usually takes 20 days to get up and down the germ. Open the film immediately after emergence to facilitate ventilation. The indoor humidity should not be too high, otherwise the underground stems of seedlings will rot easily.

Crab claw orchid seedlings are very tender. In the morning and evening, you can use a sprayer to wet the cultivation substrate, keep watering 1 time every day, and spray pesticides and fungicides 1 time every 5-7 days to prevent plant diseases and insect pests. When the seedlings come out of leaves, they should be replanted for the first time, and the seedlings that are too dense should be pulled out and cultured separately. After 7 ~ 10 days, water with 0.05% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every 10 day/time to promote the healthy development of seedlings. 1 ~ 2 months later, it is divided into 1 time, which is beneficial to the practical operation of transplanting and taking seedlings in the future. Crab claw orchid seedlings grow slowly, so they should be planted in greenhouse in winter. When the seedlings grow to about 5cm in height in the following spring, they can be planted in cups and pots. Generally, it takes 3 ~ 5 years to plant seeds to blossom, and the growth cycle is long, which is not conducive to large-scale production and can only be cultivated as an excellent hybrid variety. Before cutting, it is best to choose a small-caliber plastic flowerpot with a porous structure at the bottom and put it into a potted flowerpot after disinfection and sterilization.

When cutting, we should choose stem segments that are vigorous, round, rich in organic matter and water storage, shiny and hard on the surface as cutting hairs. It is not advisable to choose stem segments on dormant main stems and cuttings that are yellow, loose, red, bitten by pests and diseases, weak, aging, fragile, psychologically distorted, irregular and excessively delicate, otherwise they will not survive after cutting or the growth rate after survival will not be too high. When taking cuttings, it is necessary to use a sharp knife to cut off two sections of conductive tissue at the joint from several groups of stem segments at the upper end of the main stem, and remove the section with insufficient growth at the top end, and each cut can save 2-3 stem segments.

Planting, pruning and shaping can be combined in autumn. Cut cuttings must be dried in the shade for 2 ~ 3 days, and can only be cut after the wound is dry and white. When cutting, first make a hole with a flat bamboo stick. According to the size of potted flower pots, insert 1 ~ 3 or 4 ~ 6 cuttings into each pot. It is not advisable to water too much after cutting, as long as the surface layer is sprayed with microporous sprinkler irrigation equipment 1 time to make the wetted area of the cultivation substrate suitable. Keep the light source bright after cutting, and pay attention to shading when the temperature is high. Spray water in mist every morning and evening 1 time. After about 1 week, protoplasts will appear at the cutting tip, and the water permeability can be sprayed 1 time. Then, when the surface of the cultivation substrate turns white, water will be sprayed through. Crab claw orchid cuttings take root quickly and have high survival rate. Generally, it takes 15 ~ 20 days to take root, and it can enter the routine management after 1 month.
