Recently, the crab claw orchid in the science and technology park is also pregnant with buds, and the appearance of budding makes us full of expectation. After the Autumn Equinox, all crab claw orchids began to differentiate into flower buds during this period, indicating that plants can adjust their growth according to the length of sunshine every day. We sometimes come across people who love flowers to consult us, saying that the crab claw orchid that we raise does not blossom. What is the matter?

The crab claw orchid, which is properly supported and grafted in a bowl, can reach a crown diameter of two to three feet after three years, and can blossom two or three hundred flowers at the same time. Especially in the long winter lunar month, the outdoor flowers and plants withered, but the crab claw orchid is in full bloom and full of vitality. The green and thick leafy stem, set off against the colorful florets, is particularly beautiful. But to make it colorful year after year, it is not an easy task, in addition to the usual careful cultivation, the maintenance and management before and after flowering is particularly important.

After the autumn is cool, the crab claw orchid can conceive the bud to enter the florescence, at this time move the flower to the sunny place indoors, so as not to damage the bud because of the big temperature difference between day and night. At the same time to trim the flower shape, those uneven stem nodes and the main stem nodes hanging too many weak buds properly cut off, do not be reluctant to give up. There are two points necessary to do this: first, after trimming, the plant shape is symmetrical, keep the umbrella shape, and achieve the purpose of beauty. Second, get rid of the weak and surplus buds and make them grow vigorously throughout the flowering period, and the flowers are the same size. Otherwise, the buds of the apical stem nodes will wilt due to lack of nutrients.

During the flowering period, granular compound fertilizer can be applied once every ten days, and be buried shallowly in the soil along the basin soil. Do not go near the root to avoid burning the root. The basin soil can be seen wet and dry. If you do a good job of pre-flower maintenance and management, you will see a beautiful and spectacular crab claw orchid in winter and early spring next year.

The flower pattern of crab claw orchid will gradually weaken and come to an end from the end of February to early March in the coming year. At this time, the crab claw orchid is about to enter the dormant period, the original hanging flowers of those stem nodes, most of the soft wrinkled, although some still hang a few residual flowers, but all should be cut off, and pay attention to trimming the flower shape. Before and after the Spring Equinox, the flowers will be placed on the balcony or window shelter ventilation, basin soil to keep dry, often spray some water mist to the plant, so that the branches bright. As soon as the dormant period is over and the new buds sprout, they can be fertilized and watered normally.

1. Crab claw orchids can be watered when they bloom, but less watering and no watering as far as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause buds to fall. Crab claw orchid in flowering as little as possible, do not fertilize, once every half a month, watering is best in the morning, the water temperature is quite good with the environment, basin soil should not be too dry or too wet, watering should be uniform to moist basin soil, basin bottom is not running water, especially clayey soil planting should pay attention to, must not be watered, to put it simply, less watering.

2. When the crab claw orchid blossoms, do not move the position. The bud of the crab claw orchid has a strong phototaxis. Changing places frequently will make the bud twist to the sun frequently, and the final result is to break the neck, so when the crab claw orchid blossoms, do not change position, otherwise you may see buds falling constantly.
