How to grow bougainvillea in the ground to make it bloom well
This article summarizes the explanation of how to grow bougainvillea in the ground to make it bloom well and the precautions for planting bougainvillea in the field of green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
Recently, many people have asked Xiaoqi how to operate if they want the bougainvillea planted in the ground to bloom. Because many people find that after planting bougainvillea in the ground, it only grows branches and does not bloom. In fact, if you want the bougainvillea planted in the ground to bloom in full bloom, you need to meet three conditions. Basically, after planting, you don't need to manage it, and it can bloom repeatedly. Xiaoqi has planted it in a greenhouse before and it is not easy to bloom in the early stage. Today, I will tell you about it.
1. Temperature condition
If you want to plant bougainvillea in the ground, you need to ensure a suitable temperature. The minimum temperature should not be lower than zero. If you are in the northern region and the temperature is below zero, your bougainvillea planted in the ground will freeze to death in winter. Therefore, if you want to plant it, you need to create a suitable temperature for it. Xiaoqi directly planted it in a greenhouse, where the lowest temperature at night is around zero. Short-term temperature around zero will not cause problems, but continuous low temperature is not allowed.
2. Light condition
As we all know, bougainvillea is a kind of strong positive flower. If it is planted in a pot, it can bloom by controlling water when the light is weak. But if you plant it in the ground, imagine how wide the ground is, and its roots grow infinitely. If you lack light and can't control the water, it will only grow branches and not bloom. This is why most people can't make it bloom when planted in the ground. So we plant it in the place with the most abundant light, preferably a location that can get full sun. In this way, it is difficult for the bougainvillea you raise not to bloom. If the light condition is not suitable, it will definitely only grow branches and not bloom.
3. Maintenance condition
When we move the bougainvillea to the ground, we must remember to grow the roots first and ensure sufficient water and fertilizer to let it bloom after the roots are well developed. Generally, after the seedlings are planted, put them in a larger pit, add enough base fertilizer, and use some well-fermented cow dung or sheep dung. The first three months or so is the stage for it to grow roots. At this time, water it thoroughly when the soil surface looks a little dry, and add some fertilizer into the water each time. Of course, if your seedlings are small and the roots are weak, you can also add a root growth liquid. This will make it grow branches quickly. We should not interfere with the branches and let them grow freely, which can help to grow roots.
How to grow bougainvillea in the ground to make it bloom well
About three to six months after planting, we need to control watering. By the way, trim its long branches, leaving only the thicker ones and cutting off the thin ones. After the pruning is done, you basically don't need to water. In general, when it looks very dry, you can add some water. You can also bury some fertilizer around, such as common sheep dung or cow dung, or you can also bury some slow-release fertilizer. This way, there will be nutrients渗透ing into the ground every time you water.
At this time, some people will say, "If you don't fertilize and only bury fertilizer, how much can it absorb?" Imagine that the ground is vast and the soil in the ground is very rich, full of nutrients. Its roots will grow towards the place with nutrients, which will only make its roots grow well and not lack trace elements or other elements. Occasional supplements are enough for its growth. If you supplement a lot, it will only make its branches grow vigorously without blooming. Therefore, you need to reduce watering and fertilizing. As long as there is enough light and the temperature is appropriate, the bougainvillea you raise in the ground will bloom continuously.
Xiaoqi planted more than ten in the greenhouse at that time, and they were very good at climbing shelves and nets. The ones planted next to the north wall are also growing very well. Basically, it is watered two or three times a year, and it blooms every year, especially beautiful in spring. If you want to plant it in the ground, just meet these three conditions, and it will bloom as long as it grows well after planting.
The above sharing on how to grow bougainvillea in the ground to make it bloom well and the precautions for planting bougainvillea is for everyone to learn and understand!
