If you cut the top of bougainvillea in winter, it will bloom more and grow new buds next year!

Many friends find it difficult to prune the branches of flowers, thinking that cutting off the branches may affect the overall growth. But in fact, this idea is completely wrong. Take Bougainvillea as an example. If we want it to bloom more, we can cut off the rotten and waste branches on the potted plants to ensure a balanced distribution of nutrients and have better ornamental value.

Because bougainvillea grows relatively fast, there will be many long branches at this time. When pruning, we should try our best to cut off these long branches because they only grow leaves but not flowers. In addition to the overgrown branches, we also need to cut off some of the useless and rotten branches on the potted plants. This can ensure the good growth of the entire bougainvillea plant and increase the number of flowers.

Daily maintenance methods of bougainvillea:

illumination:

Bougainvillea is a light-loving plant. We must provide it with sufficient light during maintenance so that it has sufficient nutrients and the number of flowers can naturally be increased. If the light conditions are insufficient, it will affect the speed of flowering and the color of the leaves will turn dark.

Moisture:

Bougainvillea is a plant that is very afraid of waterlogging, so we must pay attention to the measurement when watering, and try to water it when the soil is dry and when it is wet. This way, after watering it thoroughly at one time, it can ensure its growth nutrients, and there will be no water accumulation and root rot, which will affect its growth. Especially in winter, it is even more necessary to control the amount of watering.

Fertilization:

Bougainvillea also needs sufficient fertilizer during its growth period, but when fertilizing it, you should pay attention to using thin fertilizer. Frequent application of thin fertilizer will not easily burn the flower roots, and the supplemented nutrients can just promote the growth of Bougainvillea. However, one thing to remember is that you cannot apply fertilizer when Bougainvillea is in bloom, so as not to affect its growth.

The method of caring for bougainvillea is simple. If we master the correct method, we can make it bloom more flower buds during the flowering period, so that we can welcome the new year with prosperity!
