What if the crab claw orchid only grows leaves but does not blossom?

1. Fertilizer problem

(1) specific reasons: we all know that different fertilizers have different functions. In that case, if the wrong fertilizer is applied, it is likely to cause the leaves to grow well, but the flowers bloom unsatisfactorily. Specifically, there are too many fertilizers containing N. On the contrary, there are too few fertilizers containing P and K elements. It is a common reason that the types of fertilizers are not well understood.

(2) solution: therefore, before flowering, it is necessary to reduce the application of nitrogenous fertilizer and use some phosphate fertilizer. In doing so, it is not only conducive to the formation of flower buds, but also makes the color of flowers appear more bright and bright.

2. No pruning

The main results are as follows: (1) specific reasons: proper pruning also plays an important role in plant flowering. This is because its flowers form at the top of its newborn leaves. On the other hand, pruning will make the new leaves grow out, which is one of the key factors that make it blossom.

(2) solution: it is best to cut off the first one or two sections in the middle of October each year. In this way, it will help it to grow flowers.

3. The light is not suitable

(1) specific reason: the light mentioned here is inappropriate, not just more or less, but a bad match between day and night. It is a short-day plant that needs eight to ten hours of light a day. If there is enough light during the day, don't let it be illuminated by the light at night. If the light is too long, it will also affect its differentiation into flower buds.

(2) solution: reasonably match the time of receiving light during the day and night. It is best to have enough light during the day and keep it in the dark at night.
