What to do if bougainvillea leaves fall

Reasons for bougainvillea leaf fall

If Bougainvillea is not watered enough in midsummer or too much in winter, a large number of leaves will fall off.

Insufficient light, sudden temperature changes and excessive fertilizer concentration can cause a large number of bougainvillea leaves to fall off.

What to do if bougainvillea leaves fall

Water more often in summer and reduce watering in winter to keep the soil in the pot moist. Secondly, you should add more light to keep the bougainvillea in an environment with sufficient light. Also pay attention to moderate fertilization.

How to shape and prune bougainvillea

How to prune new seedlings

When the newly planted seedlings grow 5-6 leaves, the top buds should be removed in time, leaving the lower 3-4 leaves; when the new branches grow 5-6 leaves, the second pinching should be carried out. Repeat several times to form a full crown.

How to prune old plants

Large plants that have already bloomed can be pruned twice a year

The first time you repot in early spring, cut off dense branches, thin branches, diseased and insect-infested branches from the base. At the same time, shorten the overgrown branches and shorten the remaining branches. The second time is after the flowers have faded, thin out the branches as appropriate, cut off the tops of the remaining branches at 30 cm, and at the same time shorten all the side branches to encourage more new branches and form more flower buds.

For old and weak plants, only retain 2-3 buds at the base of each large branch and cut off the rest to promote plant renewal and rejuvenation.
