How to care for Bougainvillea to make it bloom
A small tip for life, introducing how to care for Bougainvillea to make it bloom and detailed knowledge about the spring care methods for green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce.
If asked what flower blooms the most vigorously in summer, no flower dares to say first if Bougainvillea says second. After the spring temperatures rise, Bougainvillea enters a period of rapid growth and blooming, and the first wave of flowers opens. As long as the care is not a problem, the flower buds of Bougainvillea will continue to grow and bloom, with the most flowers in summer. It can also bloom in autumn and winter.
If you want Bougainvillea to bloom in an explosion in summer, spring care is particularly important. After April, the temperature in most parts of the country has risen to over 15 degrees. To make it grow robustly and bloom in an explosion, it is important to remember "2 more, 2 less" in caring for Bougainvillea.
1 More: More Sunlight
Bougainvillea is a strong positive flower that requires adequate sunlight all year round. As long as the weather warms up to above 10 degrees, families with conditions should try to place it outdoors for care. Outdoor lighting conditions are often better than indoors, allowing Bougainvillea to absorb more energy. Moreover, good outdoor ventilation can enhance the photosynthesis of leaves, making the plant grow lush in a short time. If conditions are limited and Bougainvillea can only be cared for indoors, the pot should be placed in a position with sufficient light, ensuring at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day.
After May, spring gradually transitions to summer, and the intensity of sunlight will increase. Most flowers need to be shaded appropriately to avoid the strong sun. However, Bougainvillea is an exception. Even in summer, it does not need to be shaded and can be placed in direct sunlight outdoors without any issues.

2 More: More Fertilization
The process of Bougainvillea flower buds differentiating into flower buds until they open requires a lot of energy, which is converted from light energy, and it also consumes a lot of nutrients, mainly provided by fertilizers in the soil. We should supplement Bougainvillea with a higher content of phosphorus and potassium elements to promote flowering fertilizers in spring. Common flowering fertilizers available to gardeners are Hua Duoduo No. 2 and Monopotassium Phosphate.
If the Bougainvillea at home is relatively robust, we only need to supplement it with phosphorus and potassium elements. It is recommended to use Monopotassium Phosphate. Mix Monopotassium Phosphate with water at a ratio of 1:1000 to make a fertilizer solution. Use the fertilizer solution to water the Bougainvillea's roots and spray on the branches and leaves. Apply once every 10-15 days. Stop fertilizing immediately when the flowers open.
If the Bougainvillea at home is not growing vigorously, it is recommended to choose Hua Duoduo No. 2. In addition to containing elements that promote flowering (phosphorus and potassium), Hua Duoduo No. 2 also contains some nitrogen and trace elements, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves while promoting flowering. Mix Hua Duoduo No. 2 with water at a ratio of 1:1000 to make a fertilizer solution. Use the fertilizer solution to water the Bougainvillea's roots and spray on the branches and leaves. Apply once every 10-15 days and stop fertilizing immediately after the flowers open.
