Is your Bougainvillea not blooming? 3 tips to promote flowering!
When autumn comes, the flowers bloom, but the flowers at home only grow leaves and do not bloom. If I say so, they need some tough love, and you must use some extreme measures to force them to bloom!
1. Shading to promote flowering
Bougainvillea loves light, and the stronger the light, the more vigorous the plant grows and the more flowers bloom. However, it is a typical short-day plant. If it is exposed to light for too long every day, it will affect flowering.
Therefore, in areas with weak sunlight, you can use the method of shading to promote flowering, perform short-day treatment, and achieve the purpose of flowering by shortening the duration of sunlight exposure.
Specific operations are to let the Bougainvillea bask in the sun for 8 hours during the day and put it in a small dark room or cover it with a black plastic bag for the rest of the time. It will bloom after 40~50 days.

2. Water control to promote flowering
If the Bougainvillea is in a strong light environment but does not bloom, you can perform water control to promote flowering under the premise of healthy growth of branches and leaves, to promote the differentiation of flower buds.
Usually, when the top of the Bougainvillea plant slightly droops, the leaves start to sag downward, lack vitality, and the leaves curl inward significantly, it is time to water the plant.
Also, control the amount of water given each time. Only give half the amount of water usually used, and usually after 20 days of water control,浇透一次大水,三角梅的枝头就能现蕾。
