Crab-claw is a very good plant, and it is also suitable for breeding at home. However, many people often encounter non-flowering during the process of cultivating crab claws, so most people want to know that crab claw orchid does not bloom. There are many reasons for this. In fact, if you want to make it bloom, you must take care of it carefully. So Xiaobian will teach you how to trim the flowering crabs.
First, the reason and treatment of crab claw orchid does not bloom
1, the lighting time is too long
Although the crab claw orchid is a plant in the tropical rain forest, it does not require long-time illumination. Usually, after 12 hours of illumination, it is difficult to form a flower bud. Therefore, in addition to the daytime sunlight, the indoor lighting will affect the crab. The normal flowering of the claw orchids, some flower lovers love to place the crab claws in the night near the light. Due to the prolonged illumination time, the differentiation of the crab claw flower bud is affected, so it does not love flowering.
Treatment: Crab claws are typical short-day-type plants that bloom smoothly after a short day of light. The correct management method is that during the day, the crab claws are placed in a place where the light is in sync with the natural world, and the night is placed in a dark place to avoid the illumination.
2, the temperature is too low or too high
Under normal circumstances, in the low temperature environment of about 15 °C, the flower buds of the crab claws are slow to develop, which is easy to cause the bud phenomenon of flower bud death; when the ambient temperature is lowered to about 0 °C, the flower buds will be frozen and die; keep 15 to 20 °C. The ambient temperature is to ensure the normal development of the flower buds. In addition, if the temperature difference between day and night is too large during the buds of the crab claw orchid, the pregnant flower buds will be damaged or buds, which will also affect flowering.
Treatment: If you have a pregnant bud, you can't open the flower at the time, it may be related to the temperature is too low. At this time, the flower pot can be moved to the greenhouse, and the temperature above 15 °C can be maintained. It can be flowered on time. After flowering, it can be moved back to the original room for viewing. During the daytime, it is more exposed to sunlight in the daytime, which encourages multiple buds and stays in the room at night. Preventing falling buds due to excessive temperature difference between day and night.
3, too many watering times
Crab-claw is not high in water demand, but it is also prone to water shortage. Usually people see that the soil in the basin is dry, so it will be watered, but once the number of watering is too much, There is no flowering phenomenon, and if there is too much water in the basin, there will be rotten roots and other phenomena, so don't water every day.
Treatment method: the light in winter is weak, the temperature is low, and the water loss is small. Therefore, it is not necessary to water every day. After the potting soil is dried, it can be poured. At the same time, the water temperature is required to be equal to the ambient temperature. Drought or leeches cause buds.
4, fertilization is too thick
Fertilizers containing high nitrogen are essential for the normal growth of Crab-claw, but if too much nitrogen is applied, it will make nutrients strong and inhibit reproductive growth. This will cause the crab claws to appear in a situation where they do not like flowering, and if there is too much fertilization, there will be a phenomenon such as rotten roots.
Treatment method: When fertilizing, it is best to pay attention to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used. It is not possible to apply too much fertilizer at one time, because it is easy to appear without flowering, and you can choose to put less when fertilizing.
5, mobile flower pot location
Many people like to move their pots when they place pots at home, because in most cases people put them on the balcony, but in order to look good, they will move it indoors, which will directly lead to it. There is a phenomenon of not blooming.
Solution: Do not move the position of the crab claws frequently. It is best to find a suitable environment and keep it there. Especially in the flower bud period, you can't just move the position of the flower pot, it is easy to cause the flower buds. Under short-day conditions, place the crab claws in the semi-shade and bloom in 2-3 months.
Second, how to trim the crab claws
Crab-claws grow rapidly. During the cultivation process, sometimes 4-5 new shoots will grow on one segment. At this time, it should be cut off in time, leaving 1-2. Of course, if there are many small flower buds on the stem section, we must also remove some of them, so that the flowers can be the same size and the flowers bloom vigorously.
And the curing environment is suitable, the crab claw orchid will grow rapidly, and the plant height will reach 50 cm or more, which is not conducive to viewing. The stem section can be cut short in the spring to remove overly dense and aged branches. After the thinning, the new shoots are tender and green, and if they are still mad, they can be trimmed again in the fall. Note that when you trim, choose sunny, and do not trim in summer.
Conclusion: Through the above description, I believe that everyone already knows the reason why the crab claw orchid does not bloom. As long as you pay more attention to the maintenance process, there will be no such situation, so you want to know how to trim the crab claw orchid. Follow the above method to trim.
