Summer is the peak growing season for crab claw orchid, when it desperately grows leaves, but you sometimes find that you can't see the buds on some bud points.

This thing is a blind bud, the causes of blind buds are very complex, such as light, water, diseases and insect pests and so on. As long as it makes the crab claw orchid uncomfortable, it will produce blind buds. It's the same as the rose.

There are usually two ways to deal with these blind buds.

The first method can be described as simple and rude. Is to cut it off directly with scissors without wasting any time and space.

The second method is relatively conservative. By adjusting water, fertilizer and light, new buds are produced again under the blind buds, and the blind buds are topped up.

Personally, I prefer the second method.

The next thing we should do is to move the crab claw orchid to a place with plenty of light. The previous light is sorry for the crab claw orchid. Put it in the sun and bask it well. After all, it is a succulent plant. After all, this operation lasted for ten days and a half months. It was found that no bud point was produced, that is, the mud could not support the wall, and the bud point had been completely broken, so it had to be cut off.

Talk about the maintenance methods of crab claw orchid in summer.

In summer, I think two points are the most important, water and fertilizer.

In terms of water management, everyone is advised to exercise restraint. After all, it is a succulent plant and does not need too much water. It can always keep the soil wet, but it should not be left outside waiting for rain. It should be watered and controlled by itself.

We should also pay attention to fertilizers. When potting, you can use some base fertilizer, that is, slow-release fertilizer, the fertilizer effect is about three months, I think it is very ok, the whole growth period and reproductive stage will be very good. After three months, the fertility will be insufficient. At this time, you should make a topdressing or use slow-release fertilizer.
