Bougainvillea is a relatively common plant in life and has certain ornamental value, so many people like to grow Bougainvillea at home. However, during the cultivation process, people may not pay much attention to fertilization, which affects the normal growth of Bougainvillea. In fact, many people do not know how to fertilize Bougainvillea and are even less clear about what kind of fertilizer is good for Bougainvillea. Appropriate fertilization is very necessary if you want Bougainvillea to grow faster.
【One, how to fertilize Bougainvillea】
<1, Fertilizing during the germination period>
Generally, when plants enter the germination period, the required fertilizer will naturally increase, and it is necessary to water or fertilize frequently. Only in this way can Bougainvillea root and germinate faster. Therefore, during the maintenance process, we must pay more attention to not only fertilize appropriately but also water.
<2, Fertilizing during the peak growing season>
With the growth of new buds, the increase in leaf area, and the limited soil in potted plants, insufficient fertilizer will lead to poor growth. May and June are the peak growing seasons, and it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently, once every half a month, and the concentration can be slightly higher. After each fertilization, it is necessary to replenish clean water to reduce odor, supplement water, and facilitate absorption.
<3, Fertilizing during the flowering period>
Bougainvillea needs a certain amount of fertilizer during the flowering period. If you want it to bloom, it must be exposed to sunlight and fertilized regularly. Otherwise, it will easily burn the roots and cause the plant to die directly.

What kind of fertilizer is good for Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea lacks phosphorus during growth, which prevents the differentiation of flower buds and makes it difficult to form flower buds. Without flower buds, it cannot bloom. Applying a compound fertilizer high in phosphorus to Bougainvillea a month before the flowering period is better. After the roots absorb phosphorus fertilizer, it can promote the formation of flower buds, and then the flower buds develop slowly into blooming flowers. Fertilize according to the instructions to prevent excessive application and fertilizer damage.
Moreover, from October, when the flowering period begins, to mid-November, it is necessary to apply a phosphorus-based fertilizer every half a month, with a fertilizer solution concentration of 30% to 40%. After each flowering, a topdressing should be applied to ensure that the leaves of the flowers continue to receive nutrient supplementation during the flowering period.
