There are many flowers that bloom in winter, such as wintersweet, camellia, primula, etc., which are blooming now, and longevity flowers, phalaenopsis, plum blossoms, etc. that are about to bloom.
However, when it comes to flowering the most vigorously and being the most popular among friends, it is crab claw orchid . In places with suitable climate, you can see crab claw orchid blooming at the end of October and can bloom until March of next year.
Its flowers are very huge, and even 4 or 5 flower buds can grow on one leaf. Some friends say that the crab claw orchid at home can bloom thousands of flowers.
The appearance seems exaggerated at first glance, but if it is the kind of grafted crab claw orchid that blooms thousands of flowers in one flowering period, it is really not exaggerated at all.
If the flowering of your cultivated crab claw orchid is sparse and the flower buds are few or even fall off, the main reason is that the nutrients are not in place.
Because crab claw orchids have huge flowers, they also require a lot of nutrients. In addition to flower-promoting fertilizers like Huaduoduo No. 2, growth-promoting fertilizers are also indispensable.
are ordinary. The soybeans we use to grind soy milk only need a handful to provide nutrients for a large-flowering flower like crab claw orchid for a year.
Soybeans contain a large amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are nutrients that flowers like and help grow and bloom.
Grab a handful of soybeans and fry them in a pot. After cooling, pour them into the wall-breaking machine and smash them completely. , just put it in a bottle for later use.
Every time you want to use it, you only need a spoonful of soy flour, mixed with some salt-free white vinegar, let it sit for 48 hours, add 1000 times of water, and use a fine-mesh filter to remove the liquid, which is an excellent nutrient solution for flowers and can be watered directly.
You can also add an appropriate amount of water to the ground soybean flour and place it in a corner to ripen. It can be used in 2 to 3 months in winter.
You can also add an appropriate amount of soybean powder to the nutrient soil when potting the flowers. These are all good ways to supply nutrients.
A handful of sesame seeds are a very good nutrient for flowers. Sesame seeds, like soybeans, are oil-bearing plants. They are rich in phosphorus and potassium and various trace elements , all of which are urgently needed nutrients for flowers.
uses crushed sesame seeds, which is basically the same operation as soybean flour. First fry the sesame seeds in a pot, then grind them, and collect them in a bottle.
In addition to using water to make a liquid fertilizer for flowers to absorb quickly, it can also be used as an organic fertilizer for flowers to absorb in a long-lasting and balanced manner.
Directly sprinkle sesame seeds along the wall of the flowerpot in a circle and let them rot naturally. With each watering, the nutrients produced reach the roots through the water flow and are absorbed by the roots.
In addition to daily fertilization, sesame seeds can also be used as base fertilizer. Flowers with thin root systems such as crab claw orchid can be used with confidence without worrying about burning the root system.
Coffee grounds are rare in ordinary households, but coffee grounds are generally useless. If you go to a coffee shop to get some, you can get a lot. It would be better if you have friends who like to drink coffee. Collect coffee grounds and it is very good to grow flowers.
Fresh coffee grounds, after being taken out, do not need to be processed by a wall breaking machine, because they have been ground very fine. They only need to be exposed outdoors for half a month. It does not matter if they are exposed to the sun for half a month. After drying, they can be stored in a glass bottle.
Every time you use it, sprinkle the coffee grounds directly on the surface of the flower pot. While it can provide nutrients to the flowers, it can also prevent the flowers from being harmed by insects and small animals.
Many bugs and even small animals don’t like the smell of coffee grounds and will run away if they smell it. Coffee grounds are also rich in nutrients and are also very useful for flowers.
Coffee grounds also have a good acidifying effect on alkaline potting soil. It contains a large amount of nitrogen compounds and is a rare good material for growing flowers.
bone meal is a good fertilizer for growing flowers, and it is what I use all year round. I used to like to make bone meal at home, but later I found it troublesome, so I bought ready-made bone meal for growing flowers. It is especially useful for flowers with large blooms like crab claw orchid.
It is not very troublesome to make bone meal yourself, and the operation is not complicated. When you usually eat meat, collect the bones, and the rib bones are the best.
After collecting enough bones, put the bones into the pot and cook them repeatedly to boil off all the salt and fat on the bones. This step is troublesome.
After processing the bones, take them out and expose them to the sun outdoors. After they are completely dried, use a hammer to break them into pieces. At this time, they are already very good, so just hammer them once.
The crushed bone slag is put into a wall breaker and crushed to become bone powder, which can be collected for later use.
Use bone meal as the base fertilizer. The flower branches and leaves are very vigorous, the leaves are green and dripping with oil, and there is no need to worry about insufficient nutrients when they bloom.
The grafted crab claw orchid at home blooms thousands of flowers at a time, relying on energizing nutrients like bone meal.
is peanuts that have been fried and drunk. Do not add oil to the raw ones. Fry them directly in the pot. After cooling, crush them with a wall breaker to become peanut powder, which is also an excellent fertilizer.
It is also an oil crop, rich in protein and various amino acids . It is also one of the favorite nutrients of flowers.
Many friends will say that it is too wasteful to use peanuts as a good thing to grow flowers. In fact, it really doesn’t take much. A handful of peanuts can be used to make peanut powder, which is enough for a year.
Whether you are making liquid fertilizer or burying it directly in a flower pot, you only need a small spoonful at a time to meet the nutrient requirements for a season.
Combined with some chemical fertilizers, even larger flowers will have enough nutrients.
Just like the crab claw orchid that is blooming now, if you want to bloom vigorously, just before the flowering period, use a spoonful of peanut powder and bury it in the flower pot, and the flower buds will sprout out one after another.
is written at the end:
Of course, I want to graft the crab claw orchid at home. To bloom thousands of flowers at a time, nutrients alone are not enough. Light, temperature, ventilation, etc. are all indispensable, and the grafting rootstock is also very important. As for crab claw orchid, the best rootstock is leaf fairy , followed by cactus. If you have friends who like it, you can try grafting a beautiful crab claw orchid potted plant!
