Bougainvillea flowerpot selection

When choosing a flowerpot suitable for Bougainvillea, you can select a wide-mouthed shallow pot according to the size of the plant. Whether it is during the growth and development period or when repotting in the later stage, a wide-mouthed shallow pot is better than a small-mouthed deep pot.

Bougainvillea is a woody plant with capillary roots that grow horizontally and have a large growth area. The capillary roots can only grow well in a wide-mouthed pot. Therefore, a wide-mouthed shallow pot just caters to the growth habits of Bougainvillea. There is no need to worry about water accumulation and root rot. Moreover, the soil in a shallow pot often has a high oxygen content, which is conducive to the growth of Bougainvillea.

Key points for cultivating bougainvillea in potted plants

1. It is recommended to use loose, nutritious, well-drained slightly acidic loam for the soil. If you use heavy clay loam, it will grow better.
2. Light: It likes sunlight very much. There must be sufficient sunlight in winter. When the sunlight is strong in summer, proper shading is required. If there is not enough sunlight, it will directly affect its flowering.
3. Temperature: It is not cold-resistant and easily frostbitten. The growth environment must not be lower than 10℃ during maintenance. If you want it to survive the winter safely, the temperature must be kept above 3℃, and the flowering temperature must reach 15℃.
4. It needs a warm environment for watering and cultivation. It likes water but is very afraid of waterlogging. Pay attention to not having water accumulation in the pot on a daily basis.
5. Fertilization: It prefers fertilizer. It is recommended to apply thin fertilizer every 5-7 days. Flower fertilizer is mainly phosphorus fertilizer. Apply thin fertilizer before flowering. No fertilizer is needed during flowering. Apply thick fertilizer after flowering.
