May I ask all flower friends, what kind of fertilizer is better to use after the crab claw orchid bl

How should crab claw orchids be maintained in spring after flowering?

After the crab claw orchid blooms, the first thing to do is to check whether the top leaves of the crab claw orchid are thin and soft, if so, be sure to cut off a part of the soft leaves, the purpose of cutting off a part is that after the crab claw orchid is flowering, it will enter a short dormant period, this dormancy period is about a month, the purpose of dormancy is to accumulate nutrients for the later leaf growth and leaf recovery process, cut off the soft one, in order to let it recover its growth faster. If the leaves are stiff and not soft, do not prune.

The crab claw orchid blooms between December and the next year, when the crab claw orchid has basically finished flowering. After flowering, it enters a short period of dormancy to recuperate. Then enter the peak growth period in spring, which is a good time to grow leaves.

After flowering, it can be given a compound organic fertilizer with complete nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering. Then use nitrogen and potassium fertilizers every half month, such as cake fertilizer water, soybean water, etc. Or buy nitrogen and potassium fertilizers.

Nitrogen fertilizer promotes the growth of leaves, potassium fertilizer can promote strong roots, make leaves thick, when used, watering after melting, thin fertilizer is applied frequently. With sufficient nutrients, the crab claw orchid will grow very vigorously in the spring, and the leaves will be thick and numerous, and it can easily survive the dormant period in summer.

If you want to repot the crab claw orchid, this is also a good opportunity, after changing the pot, the seedlings are very fast, the leaves are thick, and a lot of nutrients and water are stored, so that the crab claw orchid itself is very robust, even in the dormant period of summer, the nutrients are sufficient, and the sky is not afraid of the earth, and it can be easily passed.

If you want to repot the crab claw orchid, this is also a good opportunity, after changing the pot, the seedlings are very fast, the leaves are thick, and a lot of nutrients and water are stored, so that the crab claw orchid itself is very robust, even in the dormant period of summer, the nutrients are sufficient, and the sky is not afraid of the earth, and it can be easily passed.

The leaves of crab claw orchid are thin, and only with this "fertilizer", the growth is thick, and the later flowering is easy to explode.

It is necessary to use compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer, because the nutrients in the compound fertilizer are more comprehensive, and the organic fertilizer has a mild character and is more suitable for the growth of crab claw orchid.

During the growth period of crab claw orchid, flower fertilizer with higher nitrogen content is mainly applied, and other phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be included in it, mainly nitrogen-based flower fertilizer, because nitrogen is heavy phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is secondary when growing leaves. When entering the flowering stage, phosphorus and potassium should be used as the secondary diazo, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied before the flowering stage, and the flower fertilizer with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the main nitrogen should be used to promote flowering. It is more convenient to use compound fertilizer, which can be used in the growing period with higher nitrogen content, and during flowering, compound fertilizer with higher phosphorus and potassium content can be used.

After crab claw orchids, urea, compound fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be appropriately supplemented, such as foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week; However, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to make crab claw orchid grow.

Crab claw orchid is a common flower in life, because it is simple to grow and has the effect of purifying the air, many people like to raise some at home. But many people are always raising flowers due to improper fertilization, so can crab claw orchids be fertilized if they have flower buds? Let's take a look.

In the bud stage of the crab claw orchid, you should stop fertilizing first, try not to continue to fertilize it, if you still fertilize it on time, it is likely to cause the flower buds to fall. It is best to stop fertilizing the buds when they are about to form, and do not need to fertilize them during the flowering period. During the budding period of the plant, it is necessary to water properly, do not water the flower buds, and do not change the maintenance position at will.

It takes about 20 days from budding to flowering. During this time period, it is necessary to supplement it with sufficient nutrients, and when fertilizing, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be emphasized, and nitrogen fertilizers can be applied less or not at all. This is done to prevent the crab claw orchid from growing and affecting flowering.

In order to make crab claw orchid better absorb fertilizer, it is recommended that you should use some fast-acting water-soluble fertilizer, the concentration of fertilizer should be lighter, and the frequency of use can be higher. The frequency of use can be maintained at about once a week, and if there is no fast-acting water-soluble fertilizer, you can also apply the rotten chicken manure, fish water, bone meal and other liquids.

Of course, you can also apply some potassium dihydrogen phosphate to crab claw orchid, add water and dilute it in proportion, and spray it 1-2 times a month. This will make the flowers of the crab claw orchid more showy and the leaves more verdant.

After the crab claw orchid grows buds, be careful not to move it casually, otherwise the change of environment will easily cause it to fall buds. Moreover, when fertilizing the crab claw orchid, be careful not to water it on the flower buds to avoid falling buds. In addition, after the crab claw orchid grows buds, it is necessary to pay attention to water control, generally speaking, do not water too frequently, and then water it after the potting soil is dry.

If there is too much moisture, it will also cause the flower buds to wither and fall early.

Before flowering, the crab claw orchid needs to apply an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the flower buds differentiate faster and the flowers will open faster. It blooms in spring and winter, and when it is exposed to diffused light for 6 hours a day, the flowering period will be extended. Follow the principle of wet and dry watering during flowering to make the plants bloom faster, so avoid watering the buds.

During the flowering period, it is necessary to keep warm, and the temperature should be controlled at about 15 20.

If you want the crab claw orchid to flower, you need to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote the flower bud differentiation of the plant faster, so that it can bloom faster, and you need to reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer. It is also possible to add bone meal to the soil or spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer on the leaves, and the fertilization needs to be stopped after flowering.

1. Sufficient sunlight

Crab claw orchid usually blooms in winter and spring, and has negative resistance, in spring or winter the sun is softer, sufficient sunlight can make it start to bloom faster, it is best to put it in an environment with sufficient scattered light, receive 6 hours of sunlight every day, the flowering period will be longer, and the recovery after flowering will be faster.

2. Strict water control

Crab claw orchid has strong cold resistance, watering should be controlled during the flowering period, watering should be carried out according to the principle of seeing dry and wet, if the soil is wet, there is no need to water, dry and wet alternating can make the plant bloom faster. When watering, you should water slowly along the edge of the pot, so that the buds do not get water to avoid the flowers from falling.

3. The temperature is suitable

Although the flowering period of crab claw orchid is in winter and spring, but its cold tolerance is not strong, in order to better flowering, the flowering period needs to be kept warm and controlled, the temperature is best between 15 and 20, not below 10, otherwise it will be frostbitten. If the indoor heating is open, keep it away from it to avoid being burned.

1. The fertilizer used by crab claw orchid in different growth stages of the bush is naturally different. In the growing stage, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied before flowering.

2. Nitrogen fertilizer can promote the growth of branches and leaves, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can promote the differentiation of flower buds and play a role in promoting flowers. Also pay attention to the method of fertilization. Nitrogen fertilizer is applied every two weeks when the cherry blossom sprouts begin to germinate.

In the budding stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can promote flowering and make flowers more beautiful. With flower-promoting water and fertilizer, water and fertilizer absorption is effective. If you want a faster flowering speed, you can use spray or spray leaf fertilizer, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, diluted with water 1000 times, spray the leaves directly, use it twice a month, the effect is very fast, and it can bloom within a month.

When the buds are very large and ready to bloom, this is the time to stop fertilizing. Spray the leaves with some water every day to maintain humidity, and then put them in a ventilated place to raise, and soon the old socks will bloom. Be sure to place it in a ventilated place, if you spray the leaves with potassium dihydrogen phosphate in an unventilated environment, dark spots may appear.

If the ventilation conditions are really not good, then spraying the leaves with mancozeb twice a month can prevent dark spots. Crab claw orchid buds are very nutrient-hungry, and if the nutrients are insufficient, the bud chain limbs will grow little or even no at all. If there is no long flower bud, it can be supplemented with multi-element compound fertilizer.

Promotes growth, and after a certain level of growth, it will begin to grow buds.

1. The natural flowering period of crab claw orchid: The natural flowering period of crab claw orchid is generally from October to February of the following year.

2. No fertilization during the flowering period: Fertilization is not recommended during the flowering period of crab claw orchid, and the fertilization of crab claw orchid during the flowering period is not well mastered, which can easily cause the phenomenon of plant budding and flower dropping.

3. Fertilization before flowering: The best fertilization period for crab claw orchid is before flowering, if the plant grows robust, but does not bud, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering, such as burying some bone meal along the edge of the pot, pouring some potassium dihydrogen phosphate and so on.

4. Inconsistent flower amount: Crab claw orchid may be due to uneven sunlight exposure, resulting in more flower buds and large flower buds on one side of the plant, and fewer flower buds and small flower buds on one side.

Crab claw orchid has grown buds, and it can still be fertilized. Because more nutrients are consumed in the later stage, sufficient nutrients can ensure better development and better flowering of flower buds. However, it should be noted that the amount of fertilization should be controlled at this time, and too much should not be applied at one time, otherwise it is easy to produce fertilizer damage, resulting in flower buds that cannot be differentiated and affect flowering.

When crab claw orchid blooms, it is necessary to choose suitable fertilizer species, usually with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, to promote flower bud differentiation. Attention should also be paid to reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and if necessary, the application of nitrogen fertilizer can be stopped to avoid plant growth. When applied, it can be applied directly to the soil, and after application, it can be watered with watering to dilute the fertilizer as soon as possible so that the plant can absorb it.

It is recommended to dissolve before applying, so that the concentration of fertilizer can be controlled, and the plant will absorb it faster.

When the crab claw orchid is in bloom, it is necessary to control the frequency and amount of watering, and not too often. Usually watering once every three to five days is sufficient. If you encounter a low temperature environment, you need to extend the time once a week.

Be careful to water thoroughly every time you water so that the roots and soil at the bottom can come into contact with the water. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the watering time, which should be done at noon in the spring. If it is a summer-flowering variety, it should be watered before the sun rises or when the sun sets.
