Autumn and winter seasons are the time when Crab Claw Lan starts to breed flower buds, and they will bloom beautiful flowers soon. The plants of Crab Claw are small and cute, and can also produce colorful and numerous flowers, so they are also loved by many flower lovers. However, at this time of year, many flower lovers are confused about the growth of Crab Claws.
It has clearly reached the flowering stage, so why has the Crab Claw orchid not bloomed? In this case, our maintenance method may be wrong, and it also takes some skills to bloom the Crab Claw Lan.
So what is usually the cause of the non-flowering of crab claws? ?
1, light
Crab claw is a plant that is more dependent on sunlight. Therefore, during the maintenance process, it is best to place it in a place with better light. It is best not to turn its pots frequently when it grows buds. Otherwise, it is easy for the buds to stop growing, or the buds to fall.
2, soil
0 Crab claws are suitable for growing in acidic soil, and the soil pH is best at 6.5~6.8. Usually, when we water the crab claws, we use tap water, which will gradually make the soil alkaline. This is undoubtedly not conducive to the growth of Crab Claw, so it should be applied to it every half a month or so, and add some acidic nutrient solution that can balance pH to maintain the acidity of the soil.
3, do not expose it to the sun
Although Crab Crab Crab is relatively dependent on sunlight, in summer, due to strong ultraviolet rays and high temperatures, Crab Crab Crab Crab will consume a lot of water and nutrients to maintain its own growth in order to cope with this situation. So in summer, it is best not to place crab claw orchids in a place with direct sunshine.
4, moisture
During the time when the crab claw orchid grows buds, it has relatively high requirements for moisture and nutrients, so we should spray water on its plants frequently and supplement enough nutrients at the same time. If the moisture and nutrients are supplemented in place, the flowers grown by Crab Claws will be more colorful during the flowering period.
maintenance skills for crawfish japonica :
crawfish has a general high temperature resistance and usually enters a dormant period at a temperature of around 30 degrees. Therefore, in summer, crawfish is basically semi-dormant. At this time, the demand for moisture and light is not high. Therefore, at this time, we should control the amount of water use and reduce light. But after autumn enters, the claws will begin to grow rapidly, and maintenance is very important at this time.
1. In autumn and winter, we should shine it appropriately on sunlight and place it in places with good sunlight. However, when summer and autumn alternate, operations should be done according to actual conditions. When the temperature is too high, we should not put it in the sun and expose it to the sun. In addition, we should also give it a process of adaptation. We should not place it in the sun and burn for too long. We should gradually extend the time of sunbathing according to its growth.
2. We should also pay special attention when watering the crab claw orchid, especially for flower lovers who maintain the crab claw orchid indoors. The ventilation indoors is not as good as outdoors. Therefore, when watering the crab claw orchid, we should control the frequency and pay attention to avoid water accumulation at its roots. Otherwise, the roots of the Crab Claw are prone to rot. It is recommended that friends use a soaking pot to rehydrate the crab claws.
3. The fertilization technique is also very important. In early autumn, the crab claws mainly focus on growing branches and leaves. At this time, we can use nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer for it. Fertilize it once a week. The amount of it should not be used too much. After winter enters, we need to use phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. At this time, it has begun to breed a large number of flower buds. At this time, supplementing it with phosphate fertilizer can promote the growth of its flower buds.
In addition, we need to note that Crab Claw has two short dormant periods, the first time is in summer, and the other time is after blooming in early spring. During the dormant period, we should try to minimize the amount of watering to keep the soil dry. In addition, after the autumn cools, we can cut off some too weak buds on the plant, which can save a certain amount of nutrients for growing other better buds, so that its growth will be more vigorous.
