First: Pick the heart and leaves.
Crab claw orchid grows buds at the top of leaves, that is, the thicker and fuller the leaves grow, the more buds grow. In autumn, many crab claw orchids will grow many thin leaves on their branches. These leaves are thin and lack of nutrients, so it is not easy to grow buds.
After entering the autumn, we should start to pick the heart and leaves of the crab claw orchid, and remove the thin leaves at the top of the branches by1~ 2 nodes, leaving only the plump and robust leaves below. This kind of leaves is easier to grow buds, and the buds are bigger and fuller.
When some crab claw orchids pick leaves too early, they will grow new buds before the buds grow in the later stage, and then pick leaves until the buds grow from the top of the leaves.
Second: properly adjust irrigation.
Crab claw orchid is a flower that is afraid of waterlogging. After the plants are dormant in summer, all the water should be drained for it. If the bonsai soil is wet for a long time, it will easily lead to the rot of roots and the withering of leaves and stems. Therefore, in the dormant period of Crab claw orchid, it is necessary to control watering, and the bonsai soil is not allowed to be too wet and cold to avoid root rot.
After entering autumn, due to the decline of temperature, plants gradually began to recover and grow. At this time, it is also necessary to adjust the watering properly, so that the bonsai soil cannot be watered too much, otherwise it will endanger the growth and development of plants. Once the bonsai soil is made, it will be watered once to maintain the water shortage, so that the stems of Yuzryha can grow stronger and rounder.
Third: gradually fill in nutrients.
Although Crab claw orchid is a cactus plant, it is not necessary to fertilize it all the time, but in autumn, when the plant enters the abundant growth period, it is necessary to grow and develop buds immediately, and the nutritional requirements are increased. It is best to pour him some thin liquid fertilizer to make the plant grow and develop more abundantly.
After entering 10, the crab claw orchid will gradually grow and develop buds. At this time, it is necessary to apply less base fertilizer, supplement more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and water him with thin potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week, and insist on using it for 2 ~ 3 times, so that he can sprout buds at the top of the leaves.
Fourth: accept more moderate sunlight.
Crab claw orchid is afraid of strong light exposure in summer, but it is also a sunshine-loving plant. After returning to normal growth, it can't be deprived of light for a long time, otherwise it will cause the plant to grow in vain and let it grow new buds without breeding buds.
When the autumn light begins to become soft, let the crab claw orchid gradually receive some weak scattered light and put it in a place with scattered light. After winter, you can move the potted plant to a sunny place, and keep enough light to make it grow buds and bloom as soon as possible.
Crab claw orchid breeds buds in autumn. When the weather becomes cool, it is necessary to appropriately increase watering and fertilization, pick the heart and leaves in time, and let it receive more scattered light, so that plants can breed buds in large numbers soon, thus improving the quality of flowering.
