The flowering period of crab claw orchid is longer, from October to February of the following year, if the florescence management is good, it can blossom continuously.

The following points should be paid attention to during flowering.

The short-day flower of crab claw orchid cannot grow in long daylight. If the temperature is too high, such as in the middle of summer, it will be forced to go into dormancy.

Do not put potted plants in places with artificial light sources at night, as extra light will affect flower bud differentiation and future flowering.

If you want to advance the florescence, you can shade it at the end of July or early August, cover it with black cloth from 4pm to 8am every day, and give birth to small buds at the top of each stem node in late September. Shaded until the end of September, the bud can open from the beginning of October.
