Why is crab claw orchid easy to drop flowers and buds?

<> crab claw orchid is a small epiphytic shrub. The leaf-like stems are flat and knobby, hypertrophic, ovate, bright green, apex truncated, and the margins coarsely serrate. The flowers are born at the top of the stem, and the flowers are open and curled, and the flower colors are light purple, yellow, red, pure white, pink, orange, and bicolor.

Crab claw orchid is easy to fall flowers and buds mainly for the following reasons:

1. Failure to prevent cold in time. In the northern region, the rootstock stops growing in winter due to the cold, and most of the flower buds will fall off at this time, and the crab claw orchid with triangular arrows as the rootstock has more serious buds. The three-edged arrow grows slowly at a temperature of about 20 degrees, and stops growing at about 15 degrees, and once the rootstock stops growing, nutrients and water ** will be limited, thus causing bud drop.

Because cacti are more cold-resistant than triangular arrows, crab claw orchids that use cacti as rootstocks have slightly fewer buds. Crab claw orchids with triangular arrows as rootstocks must be protected from the cold after late autumn, and it is best to move them indoors in advance and put them in a sunny place for cultivation.

2. Sudden cooling or too large temperature difference between day and night. Crab claw orchid likes warmth, and if the temperature suddenly drops below 10 degrees, budding will occur. When the temperature drops suddenly, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping the room warm in time.

3. Improper watering. After the crab claw orchid buds are watered, it must be watered after the potting soil is dry, and it is not possible to water it continuously, otherwise it is easy to cause buds. However, watering should not be too little, and too dry potting soil can also easily cause bud drops.

4. Insufficient fertilization. Crab claw orchid is not fertilized in time before and after budding, and the nutrition is insufficient, which is also easy to cause bud drop.

5. Carry the flower pot at will during the flowering period, which will lead to broken stems and easy to cause falling flowers and buds.

6. Under the condition of suitable temperature and nutrients, light is the decisive factor that determines the formation and development of flower buds. Flower bud formation and pre-development require 12-14 hours of continuous darkness every day. If there is a light at night, it will cause the flower buds to stop developing and falling buds.

The reason for the budding of crab claw orchid.

1. Cold snap invasion.

Crab claw orchid prefers a warm environment, the suitable temperature is between 15 and 20, the growth is slow at 15, and the growth stops and even disease occurs below 5. Once the plant stops growing, water and nutrients will be limited, especially during flowering, and insufficient nutrients will inevitably cause bud drop. In addition, the most taboo is that the temperature drops suddenly or the temperature difference is too large, and the sudden cold snap will also cause the buds to fall.

2. Improper watering.

When watering crab claw orchid, it is necessary to pay attention to the water temperature and room temperature, the difference between the two should not be too large, if the water temperature is too cool and lower than room temperature, the flower buds will fall off a lot. In addition, too much watering and too frequent will also affect the germination of flower buds.

3. Too little light.

Crab claw orchids usually grow flower buds in October, when the days are short and the nights are long, especially in the northern regions, the light hours are shorter, and people move the pots indoors, and the sun is insufficient. Falling buds are inevitable.

Crab claw orchid grows a lot, but the buds don't bloom but drop a lot, what's going on?

Hello, if the crab claw orchid has grown flower buds, but has not bloomed, the reason may be due to the following reasons: insufficient nutrient supply, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied in the early stage of flower buds, such as potassium hydrogen phosphate, which can promote the flowering of crab claw orchid, fertilization and ensure the water at the same time; It may also be due to changes in the external environment, such as sudden cooling, resulting in a slower and insufficient nutrient delivery, so that the flower buds do not bloom and fall off, I hope to help you, shouting such as wishing you a happy life!

Is it good to water and dry, the flower buds will fall off, and then it is necessary to fertilize and lack nutrients.

It must have been some problem during the cultivation process, or a problem with the weather.

Shedding of flower buds is a lack of nutrients.

There may be two reasons: 1. The temperature is low, especially during the flowering period, which requires a higher temperature, the room temperature cannot be lower than 20 degrees, and the moderate temperature cannot be lower than 60%. 2. Watering too often rots the roots, crab claw orchid likes a well-drained substrate, and watering once a month in winter.

Share the knowledge of flower cultivation! Why does the crab claw orchid fall when it has flower buds, we must master the fertilization and see the light.

The temperature is too high, crab claw orchid is more suitable to grow in an environment of about 20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in summer is high, if you can't shade it in time, it will cause the flower buds to fall off.

First, the temperature is too low.

The suitable temperature for the growth of crab claw lotus is between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius, and if the temperature suddenly drops to the lowest point that it can bear, the flower bones will fall below 10 degrees. In addition, moving it to a cold place can also lead to this phenomenon.

Second, insufficient fertilization.

It has a longer flowering time and consumes more nutrients. If you do not supplement fertilizer in time during the growth period or before flowering, the flower bones will fall due to insufficient nutrients, so you should apply supplementation in time. You can buy special fertilizer or liquid fertilizer on the market, and supplement fertilizer once a week.

Flower buds need plenty of light during the growing season, and if there is too little light, the plant will be stunted and the flower bones will naturally fall. At this time, it should be placed in a place with sufficient astigmatism and more sunlight, so that the number of flowers will increase and the flower color will be more vivid. However, it is important to avoid strong light and block it in time when it is hot.

It needs to be watered during flowering, and the soil is not dry and does not need to be watered too much, otherwise it will affect the growth of flower buds and cause flower bones to fall. At this time, as long as the potting soil is kept slightly moist, it is strictly forbidden to have water accumulation.

Question: What should I do if the crab claw orchid bud falls off.

Answer (3) Ventilation and insect prevention: Regular ventilation can effectively prevent some insect pests. It is best to open the windows for ventilation at noon when the weather is good. In addition, if pests are found, they can be caught manually if they are small, and sprayed with pesticides if they are large.

Crab claw orchid is very sensitive, the most suitable temperature during the breeding period is 15 20, less than 15 will stop growing, once the plant stops growing, nutrients, water is limited, will inevitably cause problems such as dead buds and falling buds.

During the budding period of crab claw orchid, it is important to have a stable environment, do not move around, and move it frequently, it is very sensitive to the environment.

Summary of the reasons why crab claw orchids shed flower buds.

Crab claw orchid is actually very easy to maintain, in the early stage we do not fertilize it in time, crab claw orchid can also grow very well, but when it grows a lot of buds, at this time can not absorb enough nutrients, it is easy to appear that the buds in a short period of time quickly withered phenomenon. To prevent this, we can apply some potassium dihydrogen phosphate during the bud growth period, or use more fertile soil at the beginning of the pot to reduce the occurrence of bud litter.

Some novice flower friends, as soon as they see their crab claw orchid budding, they are excited beyond words, so they worry that the crab claw orchid will not be exposed to the sun for a while, and worry that their crab claw orchid is not enough water, in short, there are many things to worry about. In such a situation, start to water the crab claw orchid frantically, and the crab claw orchid absorbs too much water, which will also cause the flower buds to fall off suddenly.
