Teacher Xiaoye teaches you all kinds of knowledge of growing flowers!

Autumn is coming, and the flower friends' crab claw orchid is about to enter the flowering season. The original life of crab claw orchid is attached to tree trunks or shady stone crevices, so we should pay more attention to shade according to its physiological needs. The weather turns cool in autumn, and the crab claw orchid is going to bloom slowly, so how can we maintain the crab claw orchid in autumn to prolong its flowering period and make the bud bloom more brightly?

NO.1 temperature

6-20 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for crab claw orchid growth!

Crab claw orchid like warm, shaded, well-ventilated environment, the weather changes greatly before and after autumn, pay attention to shade when the sun is strong, to prevent crab claw orchid from meeting strong light. When the temperature gets lower after Frosts Descent, the crab claw orchid should be moved into the sunny part of the room in time to prevent frostbite caused by too low temperature. The most suitable temperature for crab claw orchid growth is 6-20 ℃, higher or lower will affect its flowering and growth!

NO.2 fertilization

In the period of flower bud differentiation, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is the main fertilizer, and thin fertilizer is applied more.

Crab claw orchid is the key period of flower bud differentiation from September to October every year, during this period, phosphate fertilizer should be applied mainly, nitrogen application rate should be controlled, and little or no nitrogen fertilizer should be applied. It is recommended that we use 20% cake fertilizer water to top up fertilizer, once every 7 days, cake fertilizer water is high in phosphorus, which can promote the formation of flower buds. After entering the flowering stage, in order to keep the crab claw orchid blooming, you can apply thin fertilizer every 10 days!

In the bud stage, we must provide sufficient fertilizer and water, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer should not be Xerox as far as possible, which is to prevent the excessive growth of crab claw orchid stems and leaves so as not to consume too much nutrients and affect the formation of flower buds! Flower bud stage, every 7 days to apply rotten chicken manure, fish water, bone meal diluted fertilizer solution can! Pay attention to the amount of water, basin soil to see dry re-watering is the most appropriate!

NO.3 watering

Water every 2-3 days in autumn and 4-5 days in winter!

Crab claw orchid likes to grow in a humid environment, the weather is relatively unstable after autumn, and the temperature rises and falls suddenly. At this time, we should pay attention to the amount of water for crab claw orchid. When the weather is hot, it can be watered once a day, usually once every 2-3 days. Keep the basin soil moist. After entering the winter, the temperature becomes lower and the evaporation decreases. At this time, water can be watered every 4-5 days. Pay special attention to that when the crab claw orchid enters the budding stage, the pot soil should not be suddenly dry and wet, so as not to cause the buds to fall off!

NO.4 pruning periodically

Proper pruning at the bud stage to keep the plant beautiful!

The crab claw orchid can be pruned after the formation of the flower bud stage. the main purpose of pruning is to subtract the uneven claw pieces and comb the too dense and weak flower buds, so as to ensure that the overall shape of the crab claw orchid is symmetrical and good-looking, and concentrate the nutrients in the body of the crab claw orchid. Let the plant grow more exuberantly during flowering, play the role of prolonging the flowering period! When maintaining the crab claw orchid in autumn, put the crab claw orchid in the sunny position, try to avoid the period of strong light, fully accept the sun, can promote its growth!

NO.5 soothes buds in time

The current flowering period should be topped in time to prevent the bud from wilting due to lack of nutrients.

The buds of the crab claw orchid are generally formally formed in mid-late October, and the top of the stem node generally gives birth to 2-3 buds at the same time. At this time, we must pay attention to sparse the buds in time, keep the largest one at the top, and remove the rest. Sometimes the top of the stem node will grow a young stem and a flower bud at the same time, then the young stem should be removed, so as not to wilt because the top bud is not nutritious enough!

This is teacher Xiaoye's experience in maintaining crab claw orchids in autumn and florescence. If flower friends find it troublesome to do so, teacher Xiaoye recommends you to use a bag of Ye Hong time microbial agent, which can help crab claw orchids prolong their florescence and promote the differentiation and formation of buds. Let the crab claw orchid buds bloom one after another until the Spring Festival!
