3. Precautions

When raising crab claw orchid, make sure it is dark at night and no light can be seen. It is enough for it to see proper light during the day. It needs to be blocked at night, otherwise its flower buds will not be able to differentiate and it will easily not bloom. Generally, the dark environment should be maintained for about 12 hours at night. In addition, you can use compound fertilizer, eggshell fertilizer or homemade fertilizer to fertilize it.

1. Whether the light can be seen

When cultivating crab claw orchid, the environment must be dark at night, so the light cannot be seen. It needs to be properly exposed to light during the day, but if it is still exposed to light at night, the exposure time will be greatly extended, and the flower buds of the plant will not be able to differentiate normally, and it is very likely that it will not bloom.

You should master reasonable maintenance methods. It needs to receive about 6-8 hours of light during the day, but it needs to be shaded at night. You can find a cardboard box to cover it. Generally, this is required to ensure about 12 hours of darkness at night.

2. What fertilizer to use

There are many kinds of fertilizers that can be applied to crab claw orchids. You can apply some compound fertilizers, eggshell flower fertilizers or personal homemade flower fertilizers. When it is in the growth period, some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to make it grow more vigorously. Before flowering and during the flowering period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied instead, which is not only beneficial to the flowering quality, but also the flower color is more beautiful.

3. Precautions

No matter what kind of fertilizer is applied to it, it should be applied in small amounts. If the amount of fertilizer is relatively large, it may burn the roots of the plant. In addition, do not apply raw fertilizer, as it will be very harmful to the plants.
