Bougainvillea is a plant that is especially liked by flower enthusiasts. It can bloom almost all year round, and the most crucial point is that it is very easy to maintain.

Many people often see its presence in parks or community green belts. In some parks with a long history, the age of the plants planted is also very old.

They usually grow very lush, climb along buildings or poles, and are very robust. When it comes to the flowering period, it blooms so profusely that it looks like a waterfall of flowers flowing down, which can bring very beautiful enjoyment to people.

If you want to cultivate it to a satisfactory state, there are some key points that you must know. If you are interested, let's take a look together~

I. Temperature and Sunlight

It is a plant that loves sunlight and warm environments very much and has relatively high requirements for the environment. Many people often see some pictures that can be called "huge" on the internet, and most of these photos are actually taken in the south.

In the south, the temperature changes from season to season are not as severe as in the north, so it can adapt better to its growth. Moreover, the growing period is also longer, so its overall growth may be better.

Therefore, when we take care of it at home, we must also pay attention to this issue. For example, try to keep the temperature constant, and in the north, it is best not to plant it on the ground.

Otherwise, if you plant it in a very cold area, you will have to take various protective measures for it in winter, which is indeed very troublesome. It is better to plant it directly in a pot and take it home in winter, which can also make it healthier overall.

When taking care of it at home, we must ensure it has plenty of sunlight. The more sunlight, the better it grows. Everyone doesn't need to worry about its plant getting sunburned because it requires a lot of sunlight. If placed in a shaded environment, its growth state is not very good, the leaves will turn yellow, and flowering will decrease, so everyone must pay attention to this.

II. Humidity and Water

Many people think it is a drought-resistant plant when taking care of it, after all, its vitality is very strong. Should we water it less? In fact, it is not the case.

Although it can resist drought very well, watering should also be done accordingly. When the potting soil feels dry, immediately pour water to thoroughly wet it, and the frequency of watering can be increased as appropriate, as long as the soil is permeable, there is no need to worry about waterlogging issues.

In daily maintenance, it is also best to place it outdoors. This way, if it rains, it can be left to absorb the rainwater without any cover.
