When does the bougainvillea bloom?
Today's sharing of small experiences: common knowledge of flower cultivation concerning bougainvillea, when does bougainvillea bloom? Next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.
Bougainvillea has a long blooming period, and both the flowers and leaves are worth observing, so it is favored by many flower enthusiasts. So, when does bougainvillea bloom? Theoretically, the blooming period of bougainvillea can reach 120 days and it can bloom throughout the year. However, due to home care, the blooming period may not last that long.
In most cases, flower enthusiasts' bougainvillea blooms multiple times a year, with an average blooming period of 30-120 days (the blooming period is affected by temperature; higher temperatures result in a relatively shorter blooming period). The blooming time is concentrated between April and November, of course, there are also some varieties with different blooming times, and some greenhouse bougainvilleas also have different blooming times.
Teacher Baojinnu's pot of bougainvillea was still blooming in December. According to his description, as long as the temperature does not drop below 10°C and sufficient fertilization and watering are provided, bougainvillea can still bloom stubbornly.
Here is a section of Teacher Baojinnu's comments on determining the blooming time (promoting blooming) of bougainvillea.
It is necessary to calculate backwards based on the local temperature and the most suitable time for blooming. In Guangdong, it can bloom from December to New Year's Day, or even during the Spring Festival. In Guilin, it can only bloom from October to November, as the temperature is more suitable, with a mild autumn weather, not too cold, and the average daily temperature reaching 12 degrees Celsius. Not too hot, the blooming period is prolonged. If the climate is good, it can bloom until New Year's Day, with a blooming period of 60 days. If it is to bloom during the National Day, the temperature is too high, and the blooming period is only one month.
Based on this observation, I choose to arrange the blooming period from the end of October to November. This can extend the blooming period and ensure safe wintering. If it is in Beijing, only consider blooming in October, which can add luster to the National Day and ensure safe wintering. The further north you go, the earlier you need to plan, as the temperature does not wait for anyone.
