The flowering period of the crab cactus orchid is as long as 4 to 5 months, generally from October of each year to the next spring. Of course, during this period of time, the crab cactus orchid does not bloom all the time, but blooms one after another. Generally, after the crab claws orchid is defeated, the residual flowers and the leaves on the top of the branches are pulled out, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied. Within a month, the crab cuckoo orchid can continue to bud and bloom crazily.
1. Do not fertilize during the flowering period of Zygocactus: Do not fertilize during the flowering period of Zygocactus. Once the concentration of the fertilizer is not well controlled, or the fertilizer is accidentally splashed on the bud, it is very easy for Zygocyactus to drop the bud or drop the flower.
2. Fertilization before blooming of Zygocactus: The most suitable fertilization time for Zygocactus is to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before blooming of the plant, such as burying bone meal along the edge of the pot, or irrigating potassium dihydrogen phosphate once every half month, and irrigating the root until Zygocyactus stops fertilizing after blooming.
3. Inconsistent flower amount: In the period of flower bud differentiation, if the pot is not fully rotated in the maintenance, the flower buds on both sides of the plant will be more and bigger on one side and less and smaller on the other side because of uneven sunlight irradiation.At this time, on the premise that the flower bud of the crab cactus orchid is still small, the side with less flower bud can be sprayed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate, so that the overall flower quantity of the crab cactus orchid can be consistent.
