When does bougainvillea bloom?

1. When to grow flowers

Its flowers bloom for a long time, and both the flowers and leaves are very beautiful, so many people like it. It can bloom for up to four months. If well cared for, it can bloom all year round. However, due to improper home care methods, it cannot bloom for that long.

In many cases, it can bloom many times a year, but the specific duration will be affected by the temperature. If the weather is very hot, the duration will be shorter. It usually blooms between April and November, but some varieties bloom at different times. In addition, flowers grown in greenhouses also bloom differently from wild ones.

According to the experience of flower lovers, as long as the temperature is not below ten degrees and it is given sufficient fertilizer and water, it has the possibility of blooming. When it will bloom depends on the temperature of the planting area. For example, in Guangdong, it can bloom from December to January, and even in February. In Guilin, Guangxi, flowers can only grow from October to November. The temperature here is suitable, not cold, with an average daily temperature of 12 degrees, so the flowering period is relatively long. If it is in Beijing, it usually blooms in October, adding to the festive atmosphere during the National Day.

Generally speaking, the higher the latitude, the earlier it blooms, but this is not absolute. We can control its flowering time by adjusting the temperature. If you want it to bloom earlier, let the temperature be slightly higher. If you want it to bloom later, let the temperature be slightly lower. If it is controlled well enough, it can even be kept open until New Year's Day.

Generally speaking, we can let it bloom from October to November, which will help it to survive the winter safely.
