When does the蟹爪兰 (Disocactus Ackermannii) bloom?
This article introduces the topic of the succulent plant, 蟹爪兰. When does the 蟹爪兰 bloom? Let's find out together below.
Beginners who are growing 蟹爪兰 may not know when it blooms. Depending on the blooming period, 蟹爪兰 is divided into early, middle, and late blooming varieties, with a blooming season from September to the following April. Moreover, the blooming period can vary depending on the region. However, it is essential to be cautious during the blooming period of 蟹爪兰, as it is prone to bud drop.
Two points must be followed during the blooming period of 蟹爪兰:
1. Do not fertilize during the blooming period, and reduce watering. Watering once every half month is fine.
2. Do not move the plant. The flower buds of 蟹爪兰 have a strong phototropism. Frequent relocation causes the buds to twist towards the sunlight excessively, ultimately leading to the stems breaking.
I have a pot that has been growing for at least three years. From a small plant with a crown diameter of 10 cm, it has grown to at least 35 cm today. Over these three years, except for moving the table during spring cleaning a few times, it has always stayed in the same place. It has never dropped buds due to moving.
Several friends have told me that when the flower buds appear, they place it in a prominent location, visible to everyone who comes. The result is that the buds drop one by one. The main reason is the change in location, which causes the plant to suddenly become disoriented and continuously search for light, eventually breaking.
Therefore-----------------Do not change the location during the blooming period... From the beginning, choose a good spot for the plant with diffused light, no direct sunlight, and do not move it. Let it rest in peace.
The above are some tips on when the 蟹爪兰 blooms. I hope this article can provide you with some help!
