Is bougainvillea easy to grow? (Introduction to cultivation methods)

1. Loosen the soil

Bougainvillea is relatively easy to grow. It does not have very high requirements for soil and can tolerate barrenness. However, in order to ensure good growth, it is best to provide suitable soil. You can use sandy soil with good humus content. You can prepare it by mixing humus soil, garden soil and sandy soil. Repotting should be done once a year.

2. Plenty of Sunlight

Bougainvillea requires a lot of light and likes to grow in places with good light. Only with sufficient sunlight can it maintain normal growth, branches and leaves can flourish, and flowers can bloom vigorously. Place the newly planted seedlings in semi-shade and avoid strong light.

3. Proper watering

It is more afraid of waterlogging. Too much watering will cause waterlogging in the pot soil and cause the roots to rot. For daily watering, you need to wait until the soil becomes dry, then water it thoroughly at one time to ensure that there is enough moisture, but not too much water. Pay attention to water control before flowering, otherwise it will affect the development of flower buds.

4. Reasonable fertilization

It likes fertilizer, has a long flowering period, and produces a large number of flowers, so it can be fertilized every two weeks during the peak growth period. Remember to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to ensure the quantity and quality of flowers.

5. Temperature requirements

It is not cold-resistant and can easily get frostbite, so be sure to pay attention to the temperature in winter and try not to drop below 5 degrees Celsius.
