What is the reason for the disappearance of crab claw orchid?

What potted flower plants are most worried about is the occurrence of a large number of buds and buds during the bud, which also means that the usual efforts may be in vain and fall short of success. This is bound to be a deep blow to the heart of those who devote their time and energy to growing flowers.

Crab claw orchid is a very beautiful evergreen succulent plant, which can enjoy both flowers and leaves. However, if we do not take good care of it during the flowering period, it is also easy to let the bud fall off and disappear before the bud is opened. It is mainly shown in the following aspects:

Fiddling with flowerpots

During the budding period, the nodes of its leaves are very fragile and are very sensitive to changes in the environment. Therefore, we do not often turn the flowerpot, and do not move at will, otherwise messing with the flowerpot may cause the phenomenon of bud loss.

Second, too much water

The crab claw orchid needs a relatively dry growth environment during the bud growth period, which is more conducive to the formation of buds and buds. If there is too much watering at this time or the basin soil is too wet, it is often easy to inhibit the respiration of the root system, resulting in buds falling and budding ahead of time.

Third, lack of nutrition

The crab claw orchid needs sufficient nutrients to promote growth and development during the bud growth period. If there is a lack of nutrition during this period, then the plant does not have enough ability to support the growth of the bud, resulting in bud loss and bud drop. Therefore, when the crab claw orchid begins to bud, it should be supplemented with some phosphorus and potassium elements.

It is recommended to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, the concentration is controlled at 0.1%, spray once a week. But we can also bury a little rotten chicken dung, bone powder, plant ash and so on in the basin. After obtaining phosphorus and potassium, the plant can promote the long bud and stabilize the bud.

4. Low temperature and cold

The florescence of crab claw orchid is usually in autumn and winter, and the flowering period is usually concentrated in winter. However, the temperature is often low in winter, and the cold tolerance of crab claw orchid is relatively poor, so if the ambient temperature is too low and the plant is frozen during the bud growth, it will also cause the phenomenon of bud loss and bud loss. Therefore, it is suggested that the ambient temperature should be controlled at about 15 °C to ensure that the plant will not be frozen, which is more conducive to plant bud gestation.
