Crab claw orchid is a very popular holiday flower, after flowering, the red one is very festive, but if the crab claw orchid is not properly maintained, it is very easy to cause non-flowering or less flowering, if your crab claw orchid blossoms less, we still need to find out the reasons, only when we find the reasons, we can prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease.

1. Nitrogen fertilizer

In the process of plant growth, nitrogen fertilizer can promote vegetative growth and make the plant grow longer, but if more nitrogen fertilizer is used and less phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is used, it will lead to excess nutrition and inhibit reproductive growth. This will affect the flowering of crab claw orchid.

In general, if this is the case, we had better stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and need to use more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer about a month before flowering, the more common potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, which can provide more adequate nutrition for crab claw orchid flowering. Make sure it blossoms normally.

two。 Light

Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, if improper light will also affect its flowering, generally need to ensure about 4 hours of light a day, if the light is too long, the flower bud will be affected, it will not blossom.

In general, the maintenance of crab claw orchid needs to be able to enjoy sufficient light during the day, and be in a completely dark environment at night, so as to ensure its flower bud differentiation and let it blossom as soon as possible. If the dark environment can not be guaranteed at night, we can cover it with a paper shell at night, so it's basically OK.

3. Pruning

Generally, if you want the crab claw orchid to blossom normally and produce more flowers, it needs proper pruning, and the old branches will consume more nutrients, which will affect the germination of new branches, so the flowering will be restricted, so it is necessary to cut off the overgrown branches, which can promote the sprouting of new buds.

And one side of a branch out of a flower bud is good, if there are multiple flower buds, it is best to break one, so that it can ensure that it blossoms normally, otherwise it will cause excessive consumption of nutrition, two flowers are not good.
