Management of Bougainvillea during flowering period, why is the flower color light

1. Management during flowering period

1. Watering: During its flowering period, water control is very important. Excessive or insufficient watering will shorten its flowering period, and in severe cases, it will cause its flower buds to fall off. When watering, it is best to wait until the soil in the pot is dry. Be sure to follow the principle of "water when dry, and water when wet, and prefer dry to wet".

2. Fertilization: Bougainvillea has little demand for fertilizer, but it still needs a little fertilizer during its flowering period. We can use rice water or orange peel water, and it is best to do it once a week to ten days.

3. Pruning: During its flowering period, we need to perform simple pruning on it, cutting off excess and unhealthy branches and leaves. The main purpose is to control the reasonable distribution of nutrients and provide sufficient nutrients to the flowering branches.

2. Why are the flowers light in color?

1. Lack of water: If there is not enough water supplied during the flowering period, the color of the flowers will fade. Although it is better to keep bougainvillea dry than wet when caring for it, too little water is not good either. It is best to keep it wet when it is dry, and do not stop watering for a long time.

2. Lack of light: During the flowering period, the daily light exposure of Bougainvillea should be maintained at more than 8 hours to ensure its normal photosynthesis and make the color more vivid.
