Crab claw orchid only has the reason why leaves don't bloom.
The orchid period of begonia is 10 to February of the following year. If begonia grows only leaves and does not bloom, there are three main reasons, namely, improper fertilization, no pruning and inappropriate lighting. The specific reasons why begonia does not bloom are as follows:
1, improper fertilization
If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied and too little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is applied in the maintenance of crab claw orchid, the nutrients of the plant will be unbalanced, so it will only grow leaves and will not bloom.
2. No pruning
Proper pruning is very important for plant flowering. Flowers of plants will form at the top of new leaves. Without pruning, there will be no new leaves, which will affect the appearance of flowers.
3, the light is unfavorable
Crab claw orchid is a short-day plant, which needs 8- 10 hours of light every day, and the light exposure time should not be too long. Too long illumination time will affect its differentiation into flower buds and affect flowering.
