Recently, the crab claw orchid in the science park is also pregnant, and the appearance of budding makes us full of expectation. After the autumnal equinox, all the crab orchids began to differentiate flower buds at this time, indicating that plants can adjust their growth according to the length of sunshine every day. Sometimes, we will encounter people who love flowers and ask them what happened to their crab orchids that did not bloom.

In addition to the usual careful cultivation, the maintenance management before and after flowers is particularly important.

After autumn cool, crab claw orchid can be pregnant bud into flowering, at this time will flower into indoor sunny place, so as not to damage the bud due to temperature difference between day and night. At the same time, we should trim the flower shape, cut off the weak buds that hang too much from the uneven stem nodes and the main stem nodes, and do not be reluctant to do so. There are two necessary points to do so: first, after trimming, the plant shape is symmetrical, keep umbrella shape, and achieve beautiful purpose. Second, remove the weak excess flower bud, so that the whole flowering period of vigorous growth, flower size such as one. Otherwise, the buds at the top stem nodes will wither due to lack of nutrients.

Florescence can be applied once every ten days granular compound fertilizer, along the basin soil shallow buried in the soil, do not close to the roots, so as not to burn the roots, basin soil see wet see dry can.
