What fertilizer is best for bougainvillea? The latest fertilizing method explained

1. Fertilizing time

Bougainvillea has a relatively high demand for fertilizer, and it needs fertilizer over a fairly long period. First, when planting, transplanting or repotting, some base fertilizer is needed; repotting can be done once every 2-3 years.

2. Types of fertilizer

The base fertilizer mainly used is some solid fertilizer, such as animal manure or some farmyard manure, etc. For top dressing, you can use some liquid fertilizer bought at a flower shop, or you can mix it yourself. For example, you can put household waste into a bucket, seal it, and place it in the sun; it will be ready in about half a month.

3. Fertilizing methods

1. When using base fertilizer, after preparing the soil, mix it in, as evenly as possible. The amount of base fertilizer used does not need to be too much, but its role is very important. When using top dressing, it needs to be diluted first; the concentration must not be too high, otherwise the bougainvillea may suffer root rot.

2. Next is the frequency of fertilizing; it does not need to be too many times, and the interval can be controlled at about half a month.

4. Precautions

1. When fertilizing, be careful not to get it on the surface of the leaves, otherwise it will cause the leaves to rot.

2. Before fertilizing, you can loosen the soil appropriately to make the soil looser, so it is easier to absorb.
