What is the reason why the latest crab claw orchid does not bloom?

Crab claw orchid is famous for its branches and buds like crab claws. Many people breed it to see the beautiful flowers blooming on its crab claws. However, some people breed crab claw orchid for several years, although it grows well, but it does not bloom. What caused it? Let's take a look.

1. Light

Work is an important source of photosynthesis for plants. Plants cannot grow without light, and crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, so its sunshine time should not be too long, preferably kept at about 8-10 hours. If the sunshine time is too long or too short, it will affect its flowering. For example, it receives more than 12 hours of light every day, so it is difficult to form buds for a long time. In addition to natural light during the day, night light will also affect its flowering. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control its light time, whether it is day or night, after receiving enough light, do not let it receive light.

2. Temperature

Temperature is also very critical for flowers, the appropriate temperature for crab claw orchid in 20-25 degrees note, of which the appropriate temperature for growth is 20-23 degrees, flowering temperature should be maintained at 10-15 degrees, not more than 25 degrees. In winter low temperature environment, crab claw orchid development is relatively slow, then easily lead to flower bud temperature, when the temperature is lower than 0 degrees, flower bud will be frozen temperature, so maintain 15-20 degrees temperature, in order to ensure the normal development of flower bud.

3. Watering

If the cultivated plants want to grow and develop normally, they cannot be separated from watering. Watering should be carried out according to the growth habits of the plants. Crab claw orchids like to live in a semi-shady and humid environment, so pay attention to the amount of watering when watering at ordinary times. It is not easy to die when it is short of water, but if it is in the water, it is easy to die. If you must not water frequently during the breeding process, you should pay attention to the amount of watering, so as not to die of water accumulation. In addition, the flowering period should be controlled by water and fertilizer. The flowering degree of crab claw orchid is extremely sensitive to water. More water is easy to drop buds. When it is serious, it will cause ponding and rotten roots. Lack of water makes the flowers wither and the buds cannot mature. Can keep the basin soil moist state, with hand pinch not scattered is appropriate, spray mist once a day at noon.

4. Fertilizer

Flower flowering is inseparable from fertilizer, fertilizer for plant growth and development to improve all kinds of nutrients, especially for flowering plants, its own metabolic frequency is high, the consumption of nutrients is also relatively large, so pay attention to pre-flowering is more or less, but in flowering to stop fertilization. In addition, attention should be paid not to excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, so as not to cause excessive plant growth, resulting in non-flowering phenomenon.

The above is the introduction of what is the reason why crab claw orchid does not bloom. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please pay attention to us.
