Is bougainvillea suitable for planting in the north?

Is bougainvillea suitable for planting in the north?

1. Reasons

Bougainvillea is native to Africa. It is a light-loving and temperature-loving plant that can withstand high temperatures but not cold. Bougainvillea in the north of the Qinling Mountains must be artificially maintained and the temperature should be kept above 8-10℃. It is difficult for it to survive below 8℃ and without sufficient sunlight. In places with suitable climate, such as Hainan and Guangzhou, traces of bougainvillea can be seen everywhere on the streets.

2. Planting method

For summer planting, wait until the soil in the pot is dry or the leaves wilt before watering. Repeat this for half a month to a month, then water normally. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-30℃. If the temperature exceeds 35℃, spray water or ventilate in time. When growing it in winter, place it on the south window indoors to ensure about 8 hours of light.

3. Notes

When applying fertilizer, do not use only nitrogen fertilizer. Applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can promote the blooming of flowers and prevent excessive growth. Potted plants need to be pruned regularly, and three-branch pruning can be performed before the flowering season every year. The more side branches there are, the more flowers there will be.
