When does bougainvillea bloom and how to care for it after it blooms

1. Flowering time

The flowering period of Bougainvillea is from April to November every year. As long as the growing environment is suitable, it can bloom at this stage, and the flowering period is particularly long. As long as it is properly maintained, you can see it blooming during this period. However, due to the influence of the north and south regions, the flowering time in the north and south will be different, and the maintenance location will also affect its flowering. If it is cultivated indoors for a long time and the conditions are suitable, it will bloom at any time.

2. Post-flowering care

1. Pruning: After bougainvillea blooms, nutrients will be consumed more quickly. If it is not pruned properly, it will affect its flowering period and quality. Therefore, proper pruning is needed, cutting off the branches at the bottom that are not flowering and are too long can control the concentrated supply of nutrients.

2. Sunlight: After it blooms, you need to place it in a sunny location and let it see the sun as much as possible. It is best to receive about 6-8 hours of sunlight a day.

3. Water and fertilizer: It is also very important to supplement water and fertilizer after it blooms, which can effectively prolong its flowering time and ensure uninterrupted nutrients. You can apply orange peel water or rice water to it once every ten days or so, and water it once every two or three days.
