The correct way to water bougainvillea. What to do if the leaves fall off due to overwatering?

1. The correct way to water

1. Time: Choosing the right time to water bougainvillea is also very important. Generally, there are no requirements in spring and autumn. The main thing is the time to water in summer and winter. The temperature is very high every day in summer, especially at noon when it is hottest, so watering should be avoided at noon. Winter is very cold, especially in the morning and evening when the temperature is lowest, so watering should be avoided and should be done at noon.

2. Method: When watering, be sure to do it slowly so that the water can gradually penetrate into the bottom of the pot. Prepare the water for watering and just water it along the edge of the pot. The amount of watering should also be controlled, not too much or too little, and it should be watered thoroughly. In addition, when the weather is very dry, you can also spray water around the plants to replenish water.

2. What should I do if the leaves fall off due to excessive watering?

When you find yourself watering too much, do not water again for a short period of time, and ensure that the maintenance environment is ventilated. If the leaves continue to fall off after a period of time, you need to change the soil and prune the roots. Take out the plant and check whether the root system is rotten. If so, cut off the rotten roots and disinfect them. It is best to replace the soil used. If there is no root rot, replace part of the soil and replant.

3. Notes

Watering is a very important thing and should be done according to the climate conditions. If it has been rainy recently, you can water less or not at all, and try not to let the plant get wet when it rains.
