The low temperature counterattack of the Qingjiang crane sojourn
Since ancient times, there are clouds, cold and summer, winter is a rest of nature, is the rest of the earth, however, every time the cold winter comes, it is often accompanied by a low temperature counterattack of nature, the earth is covered with a layer of silver. In the warm southern city of Qingjiang Crane, such a low-temperature counterattack is not common. But one early morning in 2022, a low temperature counterattack came, and the temperature dropped to minus 9.1°C, which shook the whole city.
The first low-temperature counterattack was a rare experience for the citizens of Qingjiang Crane. The trees and flowers in the streets and alleys have long since ceased to be lush and have been replaced by a frozen scene. Roads are icy and traffic is blocked, forcing citizens to pack more and find a place to keep warm. However, the impact of this low temperature counterattack on the city is not limited to traffic, it has also had a considerable impact on the growth of local plants, especially crab claw orchids.
Crab claw orchid, a greenhouse flower from Brazil in South America, is loved for its unique flower shape and bright flower color. It likes a warm and humid environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is generally between 15 °C ~ 25 °C. However, the advent of the low temperature counterattack made the crab claw orchid feel very uncomfortable, and the prolonged cold weather caused its flowers to wither and the buds did not bloom, which made people who like this plant feel regretful.
In order to better understand the characteristics and maintenance methods of crab claw orchid, let's first take a look at some of the characteristics of this beautiful plant. The flowers of the crab claw orchid have a unique shape, resembling the chela of a crab, hence the name. It comes in a variety of flower colors, including red, yellow, orange, and other varieties, each with its own characteristics. These beautiful flowers are the charm of the crab claw orchid.
However, for the crab claw orchid to thrive indoors, it is necessary to understand how to maintain it. First of all, it needs shade and cannot be exposed to strong sunlight, which helps to keep the plant healthy. Secondly, crab claw orchids need moist soil, but also avoid excessive watering to avoid moisture in the roots. Ventilation and light transmission are also key, which requires plenty of fresh air and light for photosynthesis. This basic conservation knowledge is essential for cultivating a thriving pot of crab claw orchids.
In the winter when the low temperature counterattacks, the crab claw orchid is susceptible to cold invasion, resulting in the withering of flowers and the failure of flower buds to bloom. Low temperature is one of the reasons, the crab claw orchid needs a stable temperature environment, and the low temperature will make it dormant, affecting the normal flowering period. In addition, improper watering and fertilization can also lead to difficulties in plant adjustment, which in turn can affect flowering and flower color. Therefore, in winter, proper maintenance methods are essential for the growth of crab claw orchids.
In general, crab claw orchid is a beautiful plant, and its characteristics and maintenance methods need to be carefully studied and understood. Only under the right conditions can crab claw orchids thrive and bloom into beautiful flowers. Whether it's in the cold winter or the warm spring and summer, we need to take care of it to make it thriving.
Behind the low-temperature counterattack, we see the fragility of the crab claw orchid, and also see the love and care for it. This story teaches us that every plant has its own characteristics and needs, and only by understanding and meeting those needs can they thrive. It is also a valuable learning opportunity for those who love crab claw orchids.
Finally, let us remember this low-temperature counterattack of the Qingjiang crane, which taught us more about plants and the natural world, and also increased our awe of nature. I hope that more people can understand the basic knowledge of crab claw orchid conservation, provide a better growth environment for this beautiful plant, let them bloom more flowers, and add more color to our lives.
