Appearance of the bud of Crab Claw Orchid
The buds of Crab Claw Orchid grow at the top of leaves, and the newly grown buds are relatively small, which will become larger with the later growth. Petals wrap flower buds, which are round, oval or round, and some varieties have gradually changed color. The upper part of the bud is red or pink, and the lower part is white or light yellow. It will open in 2 ~ 3 weeks.
In the growing period, the buds of Crab Claw Orchid will grow new long tender leaves. In order to avoid the competition between new leaves and flowers for nutrition, it is necessary to cut off young leaves in time, and at the same time check whether there are old leaves, residual leaves, diseased leaves or residual branches in the plant, and if there are, cut them off together. Buds absorb enough nutrients to produce dense flowers.
During the bud growth, the flowerpot should not be moved outdoors or indoors casually, and the bud of the crab claw orchid will fall off when the light and temperature change. It is suggested that the plant should be placed in a warm and ventilated place before flowering to avoid a large number of flower buds falling off due to temperature, which is helpful to ensure the flowering quantity of the plant.
In the bud stage, the change of temperature will affect the growth of bud. The temperature difference between day and night outdoors is too great, so it is better to plant plants indoors. The indoor temperature needs to be controlled between 15℃ and 20℃, and the stable temperature can make the buds grow healthily. If the indoor temperature difference is too large, the buds will fall off, resulting in a decrease in the amount of flowers and a delay in flowering.
