During this time, it will bloom one after another, which is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. However, the problem of fertilization during this period is a big question! Fertilization during flowering, do you really understand?
Fertilizing crab claw orchid during flowering is actually a quite delicate issue. Generally speaking, fertilization is necessary during its growth period and flower bud differentiation period.

If you apply fertilizer at this time, if you are not careful, you may cause buds and flowers to fall.

So, dear flower friends, if your crab claw orchid has entered flowering, don't fertilize it for the time being. At this time, it is the most important thing to maintain appropriate light and stable ambient temperature so that it can bloom safely. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers come to help before flowering, but this does not mean that fertilizer cannot be applied during flowering. If you find that the crab claw orchid at home has few flowers and a little withered leaves, you can spray some foliar fertilizer while pruning the remaining flowers. At this time, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer diluted to 1000 times or Huaduo No. 2 are good choices. They not only replenish nutrients, but also make the color of crabclaw orchid more beautiful. After the flowers fade, properly prune and fertilize until the flowering period of the Crabclaw Orchid ends. The residual flowers must be cleaned up in time. At this time, the branches can be cut short appropriately, and then the pots and soil can be changed. At this time, you can start fertilizing.
