Isn't the bougainvillea you just brought home from the flower market so beautiful that it's heart-warming? However, don't rush to put it on the windowsill, you have to give it a "seedling slowing method" to make it better adapt to the new home! Below, let me tell you in detail how to slow down the seedlings of the bougainvillea I just bought! Step 1: Gently untie and release the roots.
Imagine bougainvillea being tightly wrapped in a carton in the flower market and traveling a long way to you. At this time, what it needs most is to relax. Therefore, the first step is to carefully untie its "shackles". Gently pick up the bougainvillea, use scissors to cut off the wrapping paper, and be careful not to hurt its roots. Gently shake off excess soil and let its roots breathe freely. Step 2: Trim the branches and leaves to rejuvenate.
During transportation, some branches and leaves may wither or be damaged. At this time, we should give it a "fine cut" like a barber. Cut off the withered branches and leaves to concentrate the nutrients of bougainvillea into healthy parts, so that it can adapt to the new environment more quickly. Remember to retain some strong branches during pruning, which will help the bougainvillea resume growth. Step 3: Spray water to humidify and wake up the vitality
After a long journey, the bougainvillea may be a little dehydrated. At this time, we need to give it a "replenishment method". Gently spray some water mist with a spray bottle to allow the leaves and branches of Bougainvillea to absorb water. Be careful to spray water evenly, and do not let water droplets hit directly on the blades to avoid causing damage. Step 4: Choose soil and build a new home Bougainvillea likes loose and well-drained soil. You can choose to mix peat soil, perlite, vermiculite and other materials according to a certain proportion. Place the soil in the pot, fill the gaps, and gently compress it. In this way, the new home of bougainvillea is ready. Step 5: Water the roots and grow with peace of mind. Put the bougainvillea into the pot, fill the gaps with soil, and gently compress them. Pour water once to keep the soil in close contact with the roots. Be careful to water evenly and avoid allowing water to accumulate on the bottom of the basin to avoid root rot. Step 6: Ventilation in semi-shade. During the period of adapting to the environment and slowing down seedlings, place bougainvillea in a semi-shade ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. In this way, bougainvillea can gradually adapt to the new environment while maintaining the vitality of the leaves. Step 7: Observe growth, adjust and maintain During the seedling slowdown period, pay close attention to the growth of Bougainvillea. If leaf wilting, yellowing, etc. are found, maintenance measures must be adjusted in time. For example, increase the number of watering times appropriately, or adjust the light time. Step 8: Maintain normally. After the beautiful blooming period is over, gradually move the bougainvillea to a sunny place to ensure that it receives at least 6 hours of light every day. At the same time, water the soil appropriately to keep the soil moist. During the peak growth period, appropriate fertilization can be applied to promote the flowering of bougainvillea.
In this way, your bougainvillea can thrive in your new home and bloom beautiful flowers! Come and give it a try, I believe your bougainvillea will bring you endless surprises!
