Many flower friends say that crab claw orchids are not good-looking and are always looking forward to its flowering, but after or as soon as they bloom, the stems and flowers will soften and wilt. This is the most common problem encountered in playing crab claw orchids. What is the reason? How to deal with it?

I believe that people who grow flowers all know that flowering requires a lot of energy, crab claw orchid flowering is the consumption of nutrients stored in the stem, after flowering, the stem is soft, wilting is a normal phenomenon.

So how to improve the situation?

1. Proper nutrients should be given during the growth period, that is, before flowering. Crab claw orchid likes potash fertilizer, followed by nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer. Fertilizers with a N.P.K ratio of 30:15:20 or 40:20:30 can be used. As the temperature drops in winter, the metabolism of plants slows down, and the stems can be sprayed with 1000 liquid potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week.

2. Crab claw orchid is an epiphytic cactus, which is often attached to trees or wet valleys in nature, so the environment we cultivate should also be semi-shady and humid, but the basin soil should not be too wet, half of it should be dry and watered, and watering should be fully permeable, and the watering frequency can be reduced appropriately in winter.

3, the flowering period needs to pay special attention to water control, during this period crab claw orchid is relatively fragile, it is easy to rot roots.

4. When wilting occurs, put it in a ventilated and scattered place, and remember not to let the sun shine directly. Appropriate supplement of fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer. Those who wilt more seriously, you can remove some, about one or two pieces of stem.

The key point of raising crab claw orchid is to control water and fertilizer.
