You can still fertilize the crab claw orchid after it has grown buds. Because even if the flower buds grow, they will still consume a lot of nutrients in the later stage. Only with sufficient nutrients can the flower buds differentiate and bloom better. But pay attention to the amount of fertilizer and do not apply too much at one time, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage. It is best to stop nitrogen fertilizer at this time and just add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In addition, attention should be paid to controlling the amount and frequency of watering. It should not be too frequent or lack of water.

1. Can I still fertilize the crab claw orchid after it has flower buds?

I can still fertilize the crab claw orchid after it has flower buds. Because more nutrients are consumed in the later stage, sufficient nutrients can ensure better development of buds and better flowering. However, it is important to control the amount of fertilizer applied at this time and not apply too much at one time, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage, causing the flower buds to fail to differentiate and affecting flowering.

2. What happens when Crab Claw Orchid blooms? Fertilization

When the crab claw orchid blooms, it is necessary to choose appropriate fertilizer species, usually using phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the differentiation of flower buds. Also pay attention to reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. When necessary, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer to avoid excessive plant growth. When applying, it can be applied directly to the soil. After application, it should be watered to dilute the fertilizer as quickly as possible so that the plants can absorb it. It is more recommended to dissolve it before applying it. This can control the concentration of fertilizer and allow the plants to absorb it faster.

3. What happens when Crab Claw Orchid blooms? Watering

When the crab claw flower blooms, the frequency and amount of watering must be controlled, and not too frequently. Usually watering once every three to five days is sufficient. If you encounter a low temperature environment, the time should be extended to once a week. Pay attention to watering thoroughly every time you water, so that the roots and soil at the bottom can be exposed to moisture. In addition, pay attention to the watering time. Watering should be done at noon in spring. If it is a summer-blooming variety, water it when the sun is not rising or when the sun is setting.
