The flowering period of crab claw orchid is from October to February of the following year. Now we need to master the maintenance skills of crab claw orchid in order to make the plant blossom. Here are four techniques for raising crab claw orchid in autumn!

(1)。 Moderate light and temperature:

Crab claw orchids like a warm and well-ventilated environment, so in the early autumn, need sufficient light, but also need to avoid strong light, to avoid burns. After Frosts Descent, the temperature will drop, and it is necessary to move indoors in time for maintenance, so as to avoid plant frostbite. The temperature should be well controlled. When the temperature is lower than 6 ℃ or higher than 20 ℃, it will affect the growth and flowering of the plant. Therefore, it is necessary to control the appropriate temperature to make the plant blossom full of pots.

(2)。 Rational fertilization:

Crab claw orchid needs reasonable fertilization to make the plant blossom, especially at flowering stage, and fertilization needs to be controlled. September to October before flowering is the key period for flower bud differentiation, so fertilization should be based on phosphate fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled at the same time. 20% cake fertilizer and water can be used and topdressing once a week to promote the formation of buds.

During the budding period of crab claw orchid, sufficient moisture should be ensured, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer, with or without nitrogen fertilizer. Apply once with thin fertilizer liquid such as fully rotten chicken manure and bone meal. Combined with watering, let the plant fully absorb nutrients.

After flowering, diluted liquid fertilizer can be applied every 10 days to ensure continuous flowering.

(3)。 Properly watered:

Crab claw orchid after the bud, watering to keep moist, do not have too much or less water, will affect flowering, to avoid causing buds to fall off.

(4)。 Appropriate thinning of lei:

In mid-late October, general buds begin to form. If there are 2-3 buds at the top of the stem node, you can sparse the buds, remove the extra buds and keep the largest one, and the young stems at the top should also be removed in time to prevent the buds from wilting due to lack of nutrients.
