There are two dormancy periods of crab claw orchid, one is dormancy after flowering, and the other is dormancy during high summer temperature. For these two cases, let's take a look.

1. Dormancy after flowering

The flowering of crab claw orchids usually takes place in winter and spring. Flowering requires a lot of nutrients for plants, so dormancy is needed to store more nutrients after flowering.

2. Summer high temperature dormancy

Because summer temperatures are high, crab claws need to enter dormancy for self-protection at high temperatures to reduce nutrient loss. Because the crab claw orchid usually grows at about 20 degrees Celsius, the temperature is too high or too low.

We need to be careful about the dormancy of crab claw orchid, otherwise it will affect the flowering in the coming year.

1, soil change, crab claw orchid suitable for soil change in the dormant period, of course, do not pour all the pot soil when changing the soil, because the roots need to have a part of the original soil, we re-plant the fertile soil into the pot, can let the roots of crab claw orchid get more nutrition.

2, pruning, crab claw orchid after flowering until the flower is defeated, if not timely pruning, it will waste a lot of nutrients, we need to prune those flowers and withered branches and leaves, will not cause waste, so that nutrients can be concentrated to supply the strong stems left behind, but also increase the ventilation and light transmission of the crab claw lotus crown.

3, watering and fertilization, during the dormancy period of crab claw orchid nutrients and water needs are very few, because life activities slow down, we have to reduce the number of watering, pay attention to observe whether the surface of the pot soil is dry, each watering is a one-time watering, do not sporadic watering. Fertilization, we generally stopped, you can use rice water to water, instead of fertilizer, once a month on the line, so that the maintenance of the crab claw orchid in winter flowering back to very beautiful.

It is not only crab claw orchid in the dormant period of such maintenance, most of the plants can be maintained in this way, we need to care more about the plants at this time, in order to bloom beautiful flowers in the back.
