The crab claw orchid at my parents' house has bloomed, and it usually blooms in winter. It is at least 50 years old, and this flowerpot was replaced with a new one 10 years ago.The original flowerpot was damaged due to too much time.

It's a beautiful plant. I didn't know plants could last that long.

@zhangxueying I'm glad it's a good indoor plant.

Yes, it really lived for so long, and it can also live so well in cold areas. The average indoor temperature in my mother's house during winter is 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius)

This is beautiful, I cannot believe it is so old. I remember that Mom had one, I do not know for how many years.

This type of flower is very durable, and it does not have high temperature requirements.Because the average temperature at my mother's house in winter is 18 degrees Celsius.The temperature outside is even lower, ranging from minus 15 to 20 degrees Celsius

@zhangxueying It would not survive outside here because our temperature is below zero Celsius in winter.
