Is bougainvillea a type of plum blossom? When does it bloom?

1. Is it a type of plum blossom?

Bougainvillea is not a type of plum blossom. It is a plant of the genus Bougainvillea in the family Mirabilis. It has nothing to do with plum blossom, but the word "plum" is in its name. It is a woody vine-like shrub, also known as bougainvillea. It is native to Brazil in South America and likes to grow in a sunny and warm environment.

2. When does it bloom?

Bougainvillea blooms in winter and spring. The specific flowering time is related to maintenance, so florists will adjust its flowering time through daily maintenance. If it is properly maintained, it can bloom all year round, but on the contrary, it is difficult to bloom if it is not well maintained, so it must be well maintained.

3. Methods of maintaining flowering

1. Sunlight: Its origin is the tropical region of South America, so it loves sunlight very much and sufficient light must be ensured throughout its growing period. The longer it receives light, the more flowers it will produce; if it lacks light, it will not bloom.

2. Watering: Do not water too much before flowering. Pay attention to water control. Slightly moist soil is most suitable. If the amount of water is not controlled well when watering, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds. In addition, there should be enough nutrients in the soil, and fertilization should mainly be phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

3. Pruning: In order to make it bloom, it should be pruned in time, otherwise the branches will grow very densely and cause nutrient consumption.
