Cultivation methods and precautions for potted bougainvillea

1. Breeding methods

1. Sunlight

It likes high temperatures and strong light, so place it in an area with plenty of sunlight to help it grow better. Flowers grown in this way will have shorter branches, more flowers, darker colors, and will bloom longer.

2. Pruning

It has a relatively long growth period and grows fast, so it needs to be pruned and topped frequently to keep it in good shape. And after pinching, its branches will grow more and more flowers will bloom, because its flowers bloom at the tips of the newly grown branches. Generally, pruning is done in spring and summer. If you prune it after mid-August, it will affect its flowering, so you must pay attention.

3. Watering

From mid-August onwards, you should reduce watering. After watering once, wait until the leaves droop before watering a second time, just to prevent the plant from drying out. Wait until flowers grow in the leaf axils, then resume normal watering. Withholding water can help it increase the concentration of cell sap and help flower buds appear and grow.

4. Flower fertilizer

If the timing and dosage of fertilizer are inappropriate, its leaves will grow lush but there will be few flowers. In particular, it is very sensitive to urea, so you must be careful when adding urea. It rains a lot during hot seasons, so it is easy for the plant to grow too tall. You cannot just add urea, you can also use rotten leaves to make fertilizer. You can add urea once when the flowers first appear to promote their growth.

5. Repotting

Generally, it is best to change the pot in spring and autumn every year. If you are experienced enough, you can also change it in other seasons. If you repot the plant in spring or autumn, you need to remove more of the old soil and old roots. If you repot the plant in other seasons, you need to leave more of the old soil and old roots. For those who are repotting for the first time, it will be less risky not to let the roots spread out.

2. Precautions

1. It is best to change the pot when the soil in the pot is relatively dry, because it is easy to remove the original soil and old roots. Do not change the pot after watering.

2. When repotting, it is best to remove half or one-third of the original soil to prevent the roots from spreading out. This is safer. If you have no experience, do not remove all the soil.
