How to care for and manage bougainvillea?

Bougainvillea , a plant widely loved by flower lovers, can be shaped into exquisite bonsai or allowed to climb freely to form a spectacular flower wall. It is famous for its frequent flowering and diverse colors, and can almost meet the color needs of all flower lovers. Let’s learn how to care for and manage Bougainvillea.

1. Lighting

Bougainvillea needs plenty of sunlight. If there is insufficient light, it will affect photosynthesis and hinder the differentiation of flower buds. Make sure your bougainvillea gets at least eight hours of sunlight a day to promote vigorous flowering.

2. Watering

Bougainvillea is drought-tolerant. Excessive water will promote vegetative growth and inhibit reproductive growth, thus affecting flowering. The frequency of watering should be controlled, and water should be poured thoroughly only after the soil in the pot is completely dry to stimulate its flowering potential.

3. Fertilization

Proper fertilization is crucial for bougainvillea to bloom. Excessive or improper fertilization may result in vigorous growth but no flowering. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, should be used preferentially to promote flower bud differentiation, and high nitrogen fertilizers should be avoided.

4. Temperature

Bougainvillea can continue to bloom within the temperature range of 20 to 28 degrees, so you need to pay attention to maintaining suitable temperature conditions.

5. Pruning

Prune the overgrown branches in time to reduce nutrient consumption, maintain the beautiful shape of the plant, and promote the next flowering.

The above are the key points for caring for Bougainvillea. If you do these well, the Bougainvillea will thrive and bloom continuously. Remember the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently" to avoid fertilizer damage.
