Can bougainvillea be transplanted in winter?

It is best not to transplant Bougainvillea in winter to avoid frost damage to the roots, which will affect survival. It should be done before the plant begins to germinate. At this time, the nutrient flow inside the Bougainvillea is relatively slow and the metabolism is very slow, which can reduce damage. It is most appropriate to choose a cloudy evening, which can increase the survival rate of transplanting.

Transplanting method of bougainvillea in winter

1. Pot soil

Transplanting bougainvillea requires loose and fertile soil with certain air permeability and drainage. River sand, leaf mold and perlite should be mixed in a ratio of 4:4:2. Transplanting bougainvillea requires choosing a ceramic pot or clay pot with good air permeability to provide sufficient space and nutrients for its root growth.

2. Transplanting method

It is best to transplant Bougainvillea with soil, especially when the seedlings are relatively small. This can improve the stability of the transplanted seedlings in the later stage. After planting the Bougainvillea, compact the surrounding soil and keep the soil moist.

Things to note when transplanting bougainvillea

Before transplanting Bougainvillea, in order to improve its resistance to stress, the plant must be water controlled and transplanted when the pot is dry. If the main root of Bougainvillea is relatively long, you can do appropriate pruning to make the root system stronger. After transplanting to the new pot, water it thoroughly to replenish the missing water in time to achieve the purpose of rooting.
