After caring for bougainvillea for a few years, many flower lovers may find that the soil becomes compacted and nutrients are lost. At the same time, the flowerpot may become small, which is not conducive to the further growth of the plant. In this case, it is appropriate to consider repotting and changing the soil, but it is very important to choose the right season. Let’s learn the correct method of repotting and changing the soil of Bougainvillea. 1. Time to change pots Spring and fall are ideal times to repot. Spring is the growing season for Bougainvillea. The climate is mild, which is suitable for growth after repotting. It can shorten the acclimatization time and promote the germination of new buds. Autumn is also a good choice, as the temperature is moderate, which is conducive to the plant's recovery. It is usually recommended to repot in March-May in spring or September-November in autumn. 2. Repotting method Before repotting, stop watering for a few days to allow the soil to dry, making it easier to remove the plant from the pot and reduce damage to the roots. When repotting, you need to trim off old, dead and rotten roots, leaving only healthy roots, and add a small amount of bone meal or special fertilizer for succulents to the new soil to promote growth. When choosing a new pot, it should be slightly larger than the original pot to meet the growth needs of the plant. 3. Management after repotting After repotting, the bougainvillea should be placed in an environment with diffused light and ventilation, avoiding direct sunlight, and watering should be properly controlled to keep the soil moist. After the plants gradually adapt to the new environment, you can gradually increase the light until normal maintenance is resumed. By repotting at the right time, you can provide Bougainvillea with a more loose, breathable and fertile soil environment, promoting its healthy growth and flowering. To sum up, there is no fixed rule for repotting bougainvillea, and it can be done all year round, but spring and autumn are the most ideal time to repot.
