1、 Can crab claw orchid fertilize when it has flower buds

The crab claw orchid can still be fertilized after it grows flower buds. Because more nutrients are consumed in the later stage, sufficient nutrients can ensure better development and better flowering of flower buds. However, it should be noted that at this time, the amount of fertilization should be controlled, and too much should not be applied at one time, otherwise it is easy to produce fertilizer damage, resulting in the failure of flower bud differentiation and affecting flowering

2、 How to fertilize crab claw when it blooms

When flowering, crab claw orchid should choose appropriate fertilizer species, usually phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, to promote flower bud differentiation. Also pay attention to reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. If necessary, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer to avoid plant overgrowth. When applied, it can be directly applied to the soil. After application, it can be watered to dilute the fertilizer as soon as possible so that the plant can absorb it. It is more recommended to apply it after dissolution, which can control the fertilizer concentration and make the plant absorb faster

3、 How to water crab claw when it blooms

When flowering, crab claw orchid should control the number and amount of watering, not too often. Usually watering once every three or five days. In case of low temperature environment, the time should be extended once a week. Pay attention to watering every time, so that the roots and soil at the bottom can be exposed to water. In addition, pay attention to the watering time. Watering should be done at noon in spring. If it is a summer flowering variety, it should be watered before the sun or when the sun sets
