1、 What fertilizer is used for fertilization

1. Growing season: the demand of crab claw orchid for fertilizer itself is relatively high. In the growing season, it is necessary to apply fertilizer and replenish. It is better to use rotten manure or compound fertilizer, which can be well absorbed and promote more vigorous growth. It is generally applied every 20 days. Note that if manure is used, it must be decomposed first, otherwise it is easy to burn roots after application

2. Before flowering: it should supplement phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer before flowering. The fertilizer containing these two elements can promote flowering, ensure better flowering, prolong flowering period and increase the number of flowering. Generally, it is applied once half a month. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be selected. It is best to dilute and irrigate the fertilizer solution, so that the plant can absorb faster and the fertilizer damage can be avoided if the concentration is low

2、 Can I use sheep dung

Sheep manure can be used to fertilize crab claw orchid. When applying, first dig a small pit on the surface of the basin soil, sprinkle the sheep dung, and then bury it with soil, so that it will neither attract insects nor smell, and the plants can absorb it faster to promote more vigorous growth. Attention should be paid to ripening first, otherwise the later sheep manure will be hot and easy to burn roots

3、 Precautions

Every year, the crab claw will enter the dormancy stage after flowering, that is, it will stop growing. At this time, it is necessary to stop fertilizer treatment. If fertilized, it will not absorb, but also easily bring fertilizer damage and damage the plant. Fertilization management should be resumed when new buds grow on stem nodes
