Bougainvillea maintenance skills, just 4 points, lots of flowers, bright and beautiful, very vigorous.
If you particularly like flowering plants with many bright and colorful flowers, Xiao Ya recommends growing plants like roses, raspberries, and blue snowflakes, which have many flowers and bright colors. Peonies and dahlias are also quite good. There is also a type of flower that is easy to grow, easy to manage, and very beautiful - Bougainvillea, which is also a flowering machine and a flowering expert. Bougainvillea comes in many varieties, especially some varieties that flower frequently, which have very beautiful colors. They are very suitable for planting one or two pots on the balcony. One of Xiao Ya's flower friends has a pot of bicolor Bougainvillea on their small balcony, which stands out with its bright and vibrant flowers. In the winter balcony, it becomes a colorful cluster of flowers, with more flowers than leaves. Clusters of flowers are especially beautiful under the bright winter sun, and they are perfect from both a distance and up close.
Besides being afraid of the cold, Bougainvillea has many advantages, such as being heat-resistant, not fearing strong sunlight, somewhat drought-resistant, flowering a lot, and growing quickly. It is very easy to maintain. Some friends say that the Bougainvillea they are growing has few branches, is bare, and has very few leaves and branches, let alone flowers throughout the year. What is the reason? In fact, if you want to grow Bougainvillea, it is best to choose a very flowering variety. Next is the maintenance method. If the maintenance skills are correct, it is hard for it not to flower, and the flowering time is also very long!
I. Temperature is crucial
In the south, you can see that the Bougainvillea growing on the streets, overpasses, and parks is very tall and lush, with almost no management needed to burst into flowers. The reason for this is largely due to temperature. If it is a flowering variety, it will continue to bloom under suitable temperatures, such as above 15 degrees, and can even bloom all year round. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the temperature of our potted Bougainvillea. In winter, it should be placed on the indoor balcony to keep warm. If the indoor temperature is high enough, it can still bloom in winter.

II. Sunlight is important
Many flower friends know that Bougainvillea even prefers sunlight more than roses. During the growth process and flowering process, it cannot do without sunlight. If it is kept indoors for a long time, it will keep growing leaves, or if it is placed in a corner and blocked from sunlight, it will only grow leaves and not bloom. Therefore, it should be exposed to the sun frequently, always in the sun, and can be in the sun all year round. The more it is exposed to the sun, the more it will bloom.
III. Water control is crucial
If Bougainvillea does not bloom during the flowering period, it should not be watered too often. Try not watering for a few days, let the potting soil dry for a few days, control the watering, and maybe by watering less, the flowers will be induced. The skill for inducing Bougainvillea flowers is to control the watering and let it dry a bit.
