When is the best time to repot bougainvillea

1. Time to change pots

The most suitable time to repot Bougainvillea is in spring and autumn. Usually the pot is repotted every two years or so. Larger potted plants can be repotted more frequently. For experienced flower lovers, the time for repotting is not fixed and can be done all year round. This is because Bougainvillea is drought-resistant and stores water and nutrients in its root system. As long as the root mass is kept together, it can grow normally.

2. Repotting method

Repotting should be done when the soil in the pot is relatively dry. The old soil and old fine roots can be removed. When repotting, some of the old soil should be removed, about 1/3 or 1/2 of the old soil. At the same time, ensure that the root ball does not fall apart and do not remove the soil near the roots. When potting, place rubble at the bottom of the pot and plant it. Don't bury the soil too deep.

3. Daily maintenance

Water the plant promptly after repotting, and apply a little light fertilizer and water when there are no signs of leaf drooping. Pay attention to regular pruning, controlled watering, and appropriate topdressing.
