How to cultivate bougainvillea

An article about how to cultivate bougainvillea and the planting methods and techniques of this plant, here are some small experiences in plant cultivation, let's get to know them together.

When it comes to flowering in full bloom, the first thing that comes to mind is not the dwarf morning glory, not Marguerite, nor the Catharanthus roseus, but the宠儿 (pet) of the southern flower industry, "bougainvillea". Bougainvillea really blooms like it's in heaven in the south,开花 (blooming) continuously, and when we say some flowers bloom beautifully, we call it "full pot", but if bougainvillea is well cultivated, it's called a "flower waterfall". It cascades down from the upper floors, looking like a garden, let's first take a look at how spectacular these "flower waterfalls" are.

This is a very famous bougainvillea sea inside Guangxi University. This bougainvillea stretches along the teaching building to the height of five floors, and every year at this time, many students come to take photos and check in.

This photo is of a bougainvillea waterfall in a residential area that I saw in Chengdu last year. It bloomed directly from the upper floor to the lower floor, a real flower waterfall! It's so beautiful~ I heard that in the south, bougainvillea just keeps growing, the more it grows, the more vigorous it becomes.

However, some northern flower enthusiasts say that in the north, bougainvillea can only be planted in pots due to climatic reasons, and it's hard to grow into a flower waterfall. Actually, growing it in a pot is also very good, easy to manage, and the flowers bloom in full bloom. It's time for bougainvillea to bloom, and today I'm going to teach you how to take care of bougainvillea to make it grow better.

How to cultivate bougainvillea

Bougainvillea is one of the easiest flowers to grow, and it loves the sun very much. If you want bougainvillea to grow vigorously, you need to ensure very sufficient sunlight. The reason why bougainvillea grows well in the south is largely due to the abundant sunlight in the south, which is why it grows well.

If you grow it in a pot, just put it directly in a very sunny south-facing window sill or balcony now, and you don't have to worry about them getting sunburned. With sufficient sunlight, it can bloom for more than 200 days!

There is also a technique you need to know to make bougainvillea bloom: controlling water. First, water the bougainvillea thoroughly and then don't water it anymore, let it slowly evaporate the water until the leaves start to wilt. At this point, don't water thoroughly, just half of the original amount of water. Generally, control the water for 20-30 days, then water thoroughly once, and spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves, and slowly it will grow a lot of flower buds!
