How to propagate bougainvillea and what to pay attention to

Bougainvillea propagation method

There are three ways to propagate Bougainvillea: high-pressure propagation, cutting propagation and sowing propagation. However, for it, the most commonly used method is generally cutting propagation. This method of propagation has the highest survival rate and the method is also simple and does not require too complicated processes.

Bougainvillea seed propagation

Most varieties of bougainvillea are difficult to produce seeds, but a few native species can produce seeds. Seed propagation is not recommended.

Natural reproduction of bougainvillea

Bougainvillea reproduces naturally by watering seeds, but this method is not generally used because it takes a long time.

Bougainvillea breeding time

It is generally better to propagate Bougainvillea by cuttings from March to June, because spring is a peak growth season and the temperature is very suitable for plant reproduction. If it is maintained during this period, its growth rate will be relatively fast.

Bougainvillea cutting propagation

When propagating Bougainvillea by cuttings, suitable soil is needed, generally sandy soil is used, and a suitable temperature environment is required.

Bougainvillea seed propagation

For Bougainvillea, when propagating by sowing, it is usually done in May or June every year. It is recommended to place it indoors for maintenance.

Hydroponic Bougainvillea Propagation

First, cut a thick bougainvillea, take a vase and fill it 70% with water, add rooting powder, then soak it in it and move it to a ventilated and well-lit place for cultivation. Generally, it will take about 30 days for the plant to take root.

Tips for propagating bougainvillea

When breeding bougainvillea, you need to pay attention to the need for sufficient sunlight so that it can grow well, and use flower pots of appropriate size. When caring for it, it needs to be watered and fertilized appropriately.
