How to grow the plant

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: It likes slightly acidic soil and good air permeability. Generally, it is suitable to cultivate it in loose, well-drained sandy soil such as river sand. A mixture of garden soil and rare earth or special culture soil is also a good choice for growing it.

2. Temperature: It likes to grow in warm places. You can grow it in warm places such as indoors. Pay attention to keeping it warm in winter and maintain it above 0 degrees to avoid frost damage. The indoor temperature of 20 degrees is more suitable for its growth. If the temperature is too high in summer, pay attention to cooling it down.

3. Watering: The bougainvillea likes to grow in a slightly humid environment, so you can keep the soil in the pot moderately moist and not too dry. During the vigorous growth stage, it needs sufficient water to ensure better growth, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate and pay attention to water control. In autumn and winter, you can reduce watering or water it once in a while.

4. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, it needs sufficient fertilizer to provide it with better growth. It can be fertilized and watered once every month. Be careful not to make the concentration too high to avoid burning the plants.

5. Repotting: Repot regularly to replace the old soil and trim off some old roots. Depending on the growth of the plant, you can change to a larger pot, which will be more conducive to its growth.

2. Breeding Methods

Generally speaking, propagation is carried out by cuttings. Do it in May and June, cut 10 cm branches and give it a certain humidity. You can also sow the seeds, and they will take root in about 15 days.
