1. Natural flowering period of Zygocactus: The natural flowering period of Zygocactus is generally from October to February of the next year.
2. Let the Zygocactus bloom earlier: If you want the Zygocactus to bloom earlier, you can carry out short-day treatment, let the Zygocyactus dry for 8 hours every day, and cover it with a black plastic bag in the rest of the time. Usually, if you treat it for 2-3 months, you can let it bloom earlier.
3. Delay the blooming of Crab Claw Orchid: If you want to delay the blooming of Crab Claw Orchid, you only need to let it bask in the light for more than 10 hours a day, including fluorescent lamps, to delay the blooming.
1. No fertilization during the flowering period: It is not recommended to fertilize during the flowering period. If the concentration of fertilizer and water is not well controlled, it is easy to cause the phenomenon of plant bud falling and flower falling.
2. Fertilization before flowering: The best fertilization period for Zygocactus is before flowering. If the plant is strong, but does not bud, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering, such as burying some bone meal along the edge of the pot, watering some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and so on.
3. The amount of flowers is inconsistent: because of the uneven sunshine, the cactus orchid may have more and bigger buds on one side of the plant, and less and smaller buds on the other side. We can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate to spray the side with less buds when the cactus orchid buds are still small, so as to make the overall amount of flowers of cactus blue consistent.
