If you grow Bougainvillea like this in winter, it will sprout buds even when temperatures drop below zero, and you’ll be envious of the flowers that fill the pot!

1. Water appropriately

Watering is a technical job for flower maintenance. Sometimes watering a little too much or too little can cause the death of the flowers. Bougainvillea is not a water-loving plant under normal circumstances, so the amount of watering needs to be more controlled in winter. Before watering each time, check the dryness of the soil in the pot first, and make sure it is completely dry before watering thoroughly at once. Especially in the early stage of flowering of bougainvillea, water control is even more important.

2. Ensure lighting

Bougainvillea itself is a light-loving plant. If you want it to grow luxuriantly and bloom more, a large amount of light is essential. Bougainvillea is not afraid of strong light. In winter, because the temperature is low, the sunlight is relatively soft, so it is even more important to ensure sufficient light so that Bougainvillea can absorb enough nutrients and grow faster.

3. Apply fertilizer appropriately

Fertilizer plays an important role in the growth rate of a flower. Because bougainvillea continues to grow in winter, you can choose to add some fertilizer to it at this time, but not too much, otherwise the fertilizer will be too strong to absorb and eventually rot the roots. You can choose decomposed fertilizer as fertilizer, which can make more flower buds grow.

4. Regular pruning

I believe that many flower lovers have this feeling, that is, they don’t want to prune flowers, and think that cutting off dense branches will greatly reduce the aesthetics. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. Although pruning branches will destroy a certain aesthetic appearance, if we cut off the dead and rotten branches, it is equivalent to providing growth space for other branches, and it will be easier for side buds to sprout.
