1. Can it be watered?

In fact, it can be watered when it is blooming.

Although the crab claw orchid needs very little water when it blooms, you cannot cut off the water directly, otherwise its flowers will easily fall early. Water is the source of life for all things. No matter it is any plant, it needs to be given different amounts of water at different times. Otherwise, its growth will be directly blocked and it will become exhausted. Therefore, the water cannot be cut off even when it is blooming.

Be sure to be even when watering. Generally, the soil in the pot should be moist and water less. The bottom of the pot should not leak. Especially if crab claws are grown in some sticky soil, they must not be watered. If it is through, be sure to water it less.

5. Warm reminder

In addition to watering less when it is blooming, you should also be careful not to position it at this time. Because it is very sensitive to light, if you keep changing its position, it will easily cause the flower buds to constantly twist their direction, and eventually the flower buds will be easily broken, so you will not be able to produce beautiful flowers. So when it blooms, be sure not to change its position, otherwise it will continue to drop buds.
