How to prune bougainvillea? Remember "one point" to make it bloom more and the branches lush, blooming in clusters
The first situation
In late autumn and early winter, for bougainvillea that have passed the blooming period, or have bloomed and the flowers have withered, or for potted bougainvillea that have not bloomed yet without flower buds, they can be pruned.
We can cut off some weak and slender branches, as well as some overly long branches. Pruning at this time helps it save nutrients and survive the winter smoothly. After pruning, place it in a place with sufficient sunlight. When the temperature drops to below 6 degrees, it needs to be kept warm and moved indoors for care. At this time, control the watering, reduce the amount and frequency of watering, and when the temperature is even lower, stop fertilizing to help it survive the winter. Next year, many flower buds will sprout on the branches, and the flowers will be full of branches.

The second situation
If your potted bougainvillea is still full of flower buds or blooming at this time of early winter, of course, you should not prune it, because this is exactly the blooming period. If you cut it, there will be no flower buds left, so how can you enjoy the flowers? Therefore, as long as the temperature is suitable, above 20 degrees, there is no need to prune.
Not only do you not need to prune, but you also need to give it more sunlight, place it in the best place with sunlight, and water it with a compound fertilizer solution every few days, or fermented organic fertilizer, or add a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate to make the flowers large and colorful. Its blooming period lasts for three to four months, so after the blooming period is over and all the flowers have bloomed, then prune it.
Pruning can be done at any time, but there is one thing to always remember
Although bougainvillea can be pruned all year round, it should not be pruned excessively. Over-pruning can prevent flowering. After the blooming period is over, you can prune the branches and cut off the withered flowers to reduce nutrient consumption. If you don't want to prune, you can give it a支架 to encourage it to climb up and grow into a beautiful and lush shape. In spring, you can do a moderate pruning, cutting off some useless branches that cannot bloom to encourage it to sprout flowers. Should you prune bougainvillea in winter? Follow this one point, and you can survive the winter smoothly with full branches and blooming in clusters!
