What to do if bougainvillea does not sprout new buds

1. Increase sunlight

It is a plant that loves sunlight very much. If it does not sprout for a long time, it may be that there is not enough light and more light stimulation is needed. If you are planting outdoors, check whether the sunlight is blocked to ensure that the plant can fully enjoy the light. If you are growing it indoors, you need to move it to a place with bright light.

2. Control moisture

Many people may apply too much water and fertilizer. This is wrong. The application of water needs to be controlled. Too wet soil in the pot will affect germination. Place the pot in a well-ventilated area and make sure there is no standing water.

3. Appropriate fertilization

Adequate nutrition is a very important factor for bougainvillea to sprout new buds. It needs to supplement nutrition in an appropriate amount and apply a little light fertilizer to ensure growth. Be careful not to make the concentration too high, otherwise it may burden the roots and affect growth.

4. Pruning

It grows very fast and has a strong ability to sprout. For branches that grow very densely, timely pruning is necessary, which can not only reduce nutrient consumption but also increase light transmittance.

5. Temperature range

Control the surrounding growth temperature within an appropriate range. About 15-30 degrees Celsius will be sufficient for growth. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will affect the growth.
