What happened to the bougainvillea at home recently? They grow luxuriant branches and leaves, but not a flower blooms? Don't worry, let me reveal to you the little secret that bougainvillea does not bloom! 1. There is not enough sunshine, flowers are shy, hidden cat
Bougainvillea is a sunshine baby. It needs enough sunshine to nourish itself. If you find bougainvillea staying in dark corners for a long time, it's not surprising that it doesn't bloom. Remember to move the bougainvillea to a well-lit place and let it be exposed to the sun for at least 6-8 hours a day so that the flowers can bloom confidently! 2. Soil problems. Flowers are malnourished
Soil is the foundation of flower growth. If there is a problem with the soil, flowers will naturally not grow healthily. Bougainvillea likes slightly acidic soil. If the soil is too alkaline, it doesn't like to bloom. You can mix legular soil and sandy loam soil to increase the acidity of the soil, or apply appropriate ferrous sulfate solution to improve the soil environment. 3. Water and fertilizer management. Flowers need to be carefully cared for.
Water and fertilizer management is a major event in flower cultivation, and Bougainvillea is no exception. Too much or too little watering and improper fertilization may cause flowers to not bloom. Remember to keep the soil slightly moist, without standing water or drought. During the growing season, liquid fertilizer can be applied once a month, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be appropriately applied before flowering to promote flower bud differentiation. 4. Improper pruning will prevent flowers from showing their style. Pruning is an important part of flower cultivation. Appropriate pruning can promote more flowering of bougainvillea. If the branches of Bougainvillea are too many and dense, it will affect ventilation and light transmission, causing flowers to fail to grow normally. Every spring or after flowers, over-dense and aging branches should be pruned in time to allow the flowers to better show their style. 5. The temperature is not suitable, and the flowers enter a dormant state. Bougainvillea is not cold resistant. The suitable growth temperature is 15-30℃. If the temperature is too low, flowers may enter a dormant state, affecting flowering. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter to avoid freezing damage to plants. 6. Variety characteristics. Different varieties of bougainvillea have different flowering characteristics, and some varieties are inherently difficult to bloom easily. If the variety you raise is difficult to bloom, you may need more patience and care to take care of it. 7. Dormancy period, flowers need rest. Bougainvillea needs appropriate dormancy period to promote flowering. In winter, watering and fertilization can be appropriately reduced to allow the plants to rest. In this way, flowers can grow more vigorously and bloom beautiful flowers in the coming year. 8. Maintenance skills, secret weapon for blooming flowers 1. Soil selection: Choose soil with good ventilation and drainage, such as legular soil, sandy loam soil, etc.
2. Adequate light: Place bougainvillea in a well-lit place and dry it for at least 6-8 hours a day.
3. Reasonable watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, without standing water or drought.
4. Moderate fertilization: Apply liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season, and add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering.
5. Proper pruning: Trim off overly dense, senescent branches every spring or after flowering. 6. Temperature control: Pay attention to keep warm in winter to avoid freezing damage to plants.
7. Dormancy management: Reduce watering and fertilization appropriately in winter to allow the plants to rest.
With these maintenance skills, I believe that your bougainvillea will bloom beautiful flowers and become a beautiful scenery at home!
