Bougainvillea petals look similar to leaves, but most are bright pink, purple-red, and other colors, which are very bright and beautiful when blooming.
I believe that many friends who keep Bougainvillea at home are not few. As a potted plant, Bougainvillea has always been popular, and many friends have followed the trend and bought it from the flower market, but do not know how to care for it. This is where flower lovers need to share some experience in caring for Bougainvillea! Let those who are about to give up on cultivation reignite their confidence!
Since this is an experience sharing prepared for friends who have already purchased Bougainvillea plants, there is no need to explain the soil in detail. Just replace the pot every 1-2 years, and the soil can be mixed with garden soil, humus, and sand. It is best to choose a purple sand pottery pot.
I. Light
Many friends who grow Bougainvillea do not bloom or experience large-scale leaf drop, and first, it is necessary to consider whether the Bougainvillea has insufficient light. Bougainvillea loves light, and insufficient light will affect its blooming. Ensure that Bougainvillea gets more than 8 hours of sunlight every day, even in winter. In winter, you can place it in a bright place like a balcony.
II. Temperature
Bougainvillea thrives in temperatures between 22-32°C. To ensure that Bougainvillea can overwinter normally, the temperature in winter should reach above 5°C, otherwise it will freeze the Bougainvillea.

III. Watering
Bougainvillea requires a lot of water during growth and prefers a humid environment, so it is necessary to supplement water in time during the hot summer, otherwise the leaves of Bougainvillea will turn yellow and dry, and in severe cases, it will prevent Bougainvillea from blooming.
Water the plant twice a day, morning and evening, during summer, and avoid watering at noon to prevent stimulation due to the difference in water temperature and the temperature inside the Bougainvillea, which could cause the leaves to shrink rapidly. In addition, after Bougainvillea blooms, you can gradually reduce the frequency of watering, and in winter, you can even avoid watering until the soil is dry.
IV. Fertilization
Bougainvillea's growth is quite dependent on fertilizer. When the weather gradually warms up, you can fertilize every half month, and during the growing season, you can apply cake fertilizer every 7-10 days. During the flowering period, you can add 1-2 times of phosphorus fertilizer, and when the weather gets cold, you can slowly reduce the application of fertilizer.
Many friends say that there is no problem with watering, but the Bougainvillea still has very few flowers. Here, flower lovers need to remind everyone that when fertilizing, did you apply urea? Bougainvillea is very sensitive to urea, so try not to let Bougainvillea come into contact with urea.
V. Pruning
If Bougainvillea has a lot of leaves and flowers falling before and after flowering, it is a common natural phenomenon, and you can剪掉 the excess branches after it occurs.
In addition, Bougainvillea should undergo two major prunings a year, usually after the flowering period, cutting off all diseased, overgrown, and withered branches and leaves, which will allow it to bloom more flowers and produce more new branches in the following year. Similarly, the pinching work carried out in July and August is also to make the flowers more abundant.
After reading the above maintenance of Bougainvillea, do you still say you can't grow it? In fact, compared to its ornamental value, the maintenance of Bougainvillea is very simple. When it blooms, the colors are bright, and it is a unique landscape inside the house. Flower lovers will be delighted to see Bougainvillea blooming.
