How to grow bougainvillea well

1. Suitable substrate

Be careful when choosing the substrate, as a suitable substrate will help it grow well. Requirements such as looseness, fertility, and breathability are all necessary. In addition, you should change the pot regularly, preferably once every one or two years, to effectively prevent the substrate from becoming devoid of nutrients. In addition, proper loosening of the soil is also important, otherwise the soil will become lumpy and affect its growth.

2. Suitable temperature

It likes warmth, preferably around 15 degrees. Pay special attention in winter, as it is not very cold-resistant and the temperature must be above three degrees to ensure safety.

3. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

The main nutrient used is liquid fertilizer, which is controlled at once a week to ten days during the growing period. The flowering period is different, and phosphorus fertilizer is required once every half a month with a concentration of 30 to 40 percent.

4. Appropriate amount of water

Adequate water is very important, but not too much water. Normally, it is better to water after the soil is dry. Be careful to water thoroughly each time, but do not allow water to accumulate.

5. Moderate pruning

Regular pruning is also necessary. It depends on the situation each year, one to three times is better, and the intensity should not be too high. The main targets of pruning are diseased branches and leaves, and branches that are too long and dense. Then, after flowering, it is necessary to prune it as usual to prepare for future growth.
