Does bougainvillea shed its leaves in winter?

1. Low temperature causes leaf fall

my country spans a particularly wide range of longitude and latitude, so the climate varies greatly. We cannot simply associate the falling leaves of bougainvillea with winter. Instead, we should associate the falling leaves with temperature. The suitable temperature for this flower is between 15 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius. If it is in an environment below 5 degrees Celsius in winter, it will easily lose its leaves. Of course, except for some special places, it is impossible for the temperature to be below five degrees Celsius in summer, so the falling leaves of bougainvillea are also related to winter.

2. Leaves fall during dormancy

Bougainvillea has a dormant period, which is closely related to its growing location. If it is in a warm and humid environment, Bougainvillea will not be in a dormant period. If there is no insect disease or watering error, the growth of Bougainvillea will be very good. However, if the temperature is too high, for example, the temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius, Bougainvillea will enter a dormant period, and the leaves will of course fall off. The temperature is also not good. Bougainvillea will also be dormant below ten degrees Celsius. During the dormant period, Bougainvillea will easily lose many leaves. So if you don’t want Bougainvillea to be dormant in winter, you can try to take some small measures to make it grow well.

3. What to do after the bougainvillea leaves fall

Bougainvillea will shed its leaves in winter. Although this period of time is very short, it is still easy to cause the Bougainvillea to grow poorly if it is not handled properly. After its leaves fall, we should be careful not to water it too much. Too much water will affect the Bougainvillea. If the Bougainvillea is too dry, you can consider pouring some water into the soil where the Bougainvillea is located. This water is also particular. It cannot be too cold. It is best to use water of moderate temperature. The amount of water should not be too much, a little will be enough.
