how to maintain the crab claw orchid when it has a bud
1. Temperature control
After the crab claw orchid grows a bud, it needs to control the temperature above 15 degrees Celsius. Under this temperature condition, it is beneficial to the rapid growth of the bud, and it can bloom in about 15 days. If the temperature is lower than 1 degrees Celsius, the plant will be dormant and the bud will hardly grow.
2. Suitable watering
Crab claw orchids belong to cactus plants, which have strong drought resistance. When entering the bud growth period, more attention should be paid to the control of water, and the watering principle should be followed, so as not to let water accumulate in the basin soil and not to be short of water for a long time.
3. Ventilation in the environment
Crab claw orchids are almost entering winter when they have flower buds. At this time, doors and windows are generally closed indoors, with poor air circulation and high room temperature. It is necessary to open the windows for ventilation for more than 2 hours every day to promote air convection and facilitate the rapid blooming of flower buds.
4. Supplementing fertilizers
After the bud of Crab Claw Orchid grows, it should be supplemented with fertilizers in time, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, Huaduoduo No.2, etc., which is helpful to promote the flowering of the plant, ensure the bright color and appropriately extend the flowering period. However, fertilization should be stopped after the bud is grinning, otherwise it will be easy to drop flowers and buds.
