Today, let me give you advice and make your bougainvillea a the envy of your neighbors! The "Little Secret" of Bougainvillea: Big Disclosure of Growth Habits
Bougainvillea, a beautiful messenger from South America, likes warm and humid environments, and sufficient sunshine is his favorite. It is not a spoiled princess, but a little drought-tolerant "little temper". So, if you want it to bloom continuously, you must first understand its habits. Sunbath: Bougainvillea's "beautician"
Bougainvillea is a sunshine baby. It needs to be exposed to the sun for at least four to eight hours a day, so that its colors will be more vivid. However, when the sun is strong in summer, remember to cover it out to avoid sunburn! Paying attention to watering: The "moisturizing way" of bougainvillea
Although bougainvillea is drought-tolerant, it cannot be made thirsty. Watering should follow the principle of "see wet when it is dry". After the soil is dry, water should be poured thoroughly to avoid accumulation of water and rotten roots. Remember, it is best to water it in the evening, so that it can sleep well at night. Appropriate fertilization should be carried out: Bougainvillea, the "nutritious meal" of Bougainvillea, likes to fertilize, but it should not be excessive. Spring and summer are its peak growth seasons, and appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to promote flowering. In autumn and winter, fertilizer application should be reduced to avoid causing excessive branches and leaves. There are skills in pruning: The pruning of bougainvillea is also important, which can promote it to form a plump tree shape and stimulate the production of flower buds. When pruning, remove sick and weak branches and cross branches to maintain ventilation and light transmission. The temperature should be appropriate: The "comfort zone" of Bougainvillea likes a warm environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20-30 degrees Celsius. When the winter temperature falls below 5 degrees Celsius, it will enter a dormant state, so pay special attention to keeping warm. "Tips" for bougainvillea: Tips for maintaining bougainvillea 1.
