The stems and branches of the crab claw orchid are very thick fleshy stems. If the plants grow short, they can be supported a little. However, once the plants grow tall, the lush branches and leaves will hang down. At this time, it is necessary for florists to build a flower stand to support the plants. The materials needed for the flower stand are scissors, pliers, iron wire, bamboo pole, plastic stick and cable tie.

1, plastic flower stand

It is the easiest way to make a crab claw orchid flower stand with plastic sticks and bamboo poles. First, make a circle with bamboo sticks, then fix this circle into a circle about the size of a flowerpot with a tie, make more than three according to this circle, and then tie the bamboo poles in the circle and fix them at the same time, thus forming a tripod.

After the flower stand is finished, directly insert the flowerpot and try to insert the bamboo pole deeper, so that the flower stand can be more stable. Third, at the same time, when the flower stand is inserted into the soil, it must not hurt the roots of the crab claw orchid.

2, wire flower rack

Compared with the self-made plastic flower stand, the wire flower stand is stronger, but sometimes it will burn plants because of the heat conduction of the wire, so special attention must be paid when making this kind of wire flower stand, and the manufacturing process is relatively simple. But after it is made, it is still very strong and durable.

Bend the wire into a circle with pliers. The diameter of the circle must be larger than the diameter of the flowerpot. The head and tail are connected and twisted together, so that the plants can stabilize and try to avoid touching the wire. Make several more rings of this size, and finally pull out several iron wires of the same length to support the three brackets, tie the three feet on several rings, tie them tightly with tie straps, and finally fix them in the soil.

3. Bamboo ring

Roast the bamboo pole on the fire, and then take it down after the water in the bamboo pole evaporates. At this time, the bamboo pole is very tough and can be bent into a circle. Take several bamboo poles and do the same operation. Turn them into several bamboo poles. Then find out a few thin and long bamboo poles, tie them in the bamboo ring at the bar, fix them a little, and you can stand in the potted plant.

Second, the crab claw orchid flower stand matters needing attention

1, antiseptic treatment

No matter what kind of crab claw orchid flower stand, it is rooted in the soil, so we should pay attention to anticorrosion at the same time, especially the wire flower stand. The most suitable treatment method is to brush a layer of varnish on the iron wire or electroplate it. If this is not the case, it is best to make the iron wire flower rack into a rust-proof copper wire and aluminum wire flower rack.

2. Control growth

When the flower stand has been completed and fixed in the flowerpot, the growth direction of the crab claw orchid can be controlled slowly. Pull a rope on the flower stand, and the other end of the rope is tied to the stem of the crab claw orchid. As long as the crab claw orchid is a little longer, then pull it in the normal direction with a rope, then tie it tightly and slowly correct it.

3, timely replacement

The growth rate of crab claw orchid is still very fast, especially in the peak season, which will definitely soar. Therefore, when making a flower stand, don't make it just right, it's better to double or triple it. In this case, even if the crab claw grows, it can be used for another two years. Once the size of the flower stand has restricted the growth of the crab claw orchid, it is necessary to replace the flower stand.
