Crab claw cactus flowering maintenance, strengthen lighting and take good temperature control measures
Crab claw cactus is a type of epiphytic succulent plant native to tropical regions and is widely cultivated in China, commonly used for landscaping in nurseries and parks. Many plant enthusiasts also keep it indoors. For the cultivation of crab claw cactus, flowering maintenance is very critical. Here are the key points for maintaining crab claw cactus during flowering.
1. Strengthen lighting
For the flowering maintenance of crab claw cactus, the flowering period is in the winter and spring seasons every year. The plant's blooming requires a higher amount of light, so it is recommended to improve the lighting conditions of the plant by placing it in a well-lit area. This is beneficial for the plant's growth and can extend the flowering period.
2. Temperature control measures
Crab claw cactus has high temperature requirements during flowering. During this period, corresponding temperature control measures must be taken. It is recommended to keep the ambient temperature between 15-20°C, which is more conducive to the plant's growth and flowering, and can effectively extend the flowering period.
3. Appropriate watering
Crab claw cactus requires reasonable watering during flowering. During this period, it is essential to control the amount of water. Watering should strictly follow the dryness and moisture of the soil, ensuring that the soil is slightly moist and not too wet.
4. Stop fertilizing
It is also necessary to stop fertilizing the plant during the flowering period of crab claw cactus. Generally, a single application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering is sufficient to effectively promote growth and flowering. Additionally, after the plant's flowering period is over, another application of fertilizer is needed to ensure the plant's post-flowering growth.
