When does the crab claw flower bloom?

1. Flowering time

First let’s talk about the general stages. Generally speaking, the flowering period of crab claw orchid is concentrated from September to April of the following year. However, its specific flowering period is related to many factors. The first, of course, is variety. Although they all belong to crab claw orchids, if they belong to different varieties, the specific flowering time will be quite different. According to morning and evening, it is mainly divided into three types. They are: early-bearing species, mid-bearing species, and late-bearing species.

In addition to the variety, its flowering period is also related to the specific region. Generally speaking, the further south you go, the flowering time will be earlier; the further north you go, the flowering time will be later. In addition, the climate of the year will also affect the flowering period. If there are climate abnormalities, it will also affect its specific flowering.

2. Things to note during flowering

(1) The first point is about fertilizer and water. Many friends will think that during the flowering period, in order to provide the necessary nutrients and moisture for flowering, there will be a lot of watering and fertilizing. However, this is actually not good. The correct approach is: no fertilizer and less water. We can find that water does not mean that water is not given at all. Generally speaking, water can be poured every half month.

(2) The second one is about its location. Because the flower buds of this plant have a phototaxis. If it moves its position frequently, the flower will also rotate more frequently. Then, overall it is not conducive to their development. Therefore, the location is generally not suitable for movement.

(3) Light also needs to be paid attention to. Scattered light is the best, not too strong.
