Now is the blooming period of蟹爪兰, and the蟹爪lan we raise should be full of flower buds. However, some flower enthusiasts say that their蟹爪lan is still in the leaf growth stage, what should be done to make it bloom? Some enthusiasts also say that their crab claw orchid only has a few flower buds, and the other leaves do not have flower buds, what should be done?
1. Light
Crab claw orchid is a plant belonging to the cactus family. Many people know that plants in the cactus family need full sun all year round, but if crab claw orchid wants to bloom, it needs 4 to 6 hours of light, which is a short-day plant. At this time, we need to place it in the place with the most abundant light, because the duration of sunlight in winter is just that long, so placing it in a well-lit environment is conducive to its bud differentiation.
2. Pinching leaves
When should leaf pinching be done? If your crab claw orchid has no flower buds at all, we need to pinch off some leaves to make the whole crown look fuller, pinch off the small leaves, and remove the excessive and wilted leaves. If your crab claw orchid has only a few flower buds, we should also pinch off all the leaves with flower buds, including the small wilted leaves, to make the crown fuller. After pinching the leaves, as long as the light time is appropriate, and the next step is taken, flower buds can grow rapidly, and at least one on each leaf can bloom neatly.
3. Temperature
Crab claw orchid is afraid of high temperature and will enter dormancy when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, and it is also afraid of low temperature, which will freeze to death when the temperature is below zero and grow slowly when it is below five degrees. We need to ensure that the temperature is above 10 degrees to ensure its normal growth and blooming, so temperature is very critical.

4. Fertilizer
If you want the crab claw orchid to bloom, use phosphorus fertilizer directly, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, two to three times a month. When using it with good ventilation, you can spray it on the leaves. The concentration should be 1:1000. After using it, ensure 4 to 6 hours of light time and keep the potting soil from drying out, water thoroughly when dry. Then its roots will grow well, and the leaves will stop growing and quickly grow flower buds. Don't stop fertilizing when the flower buds appear, continue to use it until all the flower buds have bloomed. This way, the leaves will not be weak, the flowers will bloom more neatly and larger, and it is possible for two or three to grow on each leaf.
Crab claw orchid is very easy to grow. If you want to raise it, be sure to follow the four steps mentioned by Xiaoqi, then it can quickly grow flower buds in winter, and it can bloom in a pot in one month or two months.
