Stick bougainvillea branches into a pot, and in the blink of an eye they bloom with a thousand flowers, absolutely gorgeous

Bougainvillea, also known as paperflower, if cared for well, will bloom into a big ball of flowers, with no leaves in sight, only flowers, and the flower colors are diverse, with many varieties, deeply loved by people,

In spring, you need to give bougainvillea proper pruning and water control, only then will it bloom abundantly. The branches cut off can be used for cuttings; as long as the temperature is around 20°C, you can take cuttings at any time

Take a semi-lignified branch, cut it into small sections of about 10 cm, keep two to three growth nodes, and it is best to keep two leaves for photosynthesis,

Cut the lower end of the branch into a horseshoe shape to increase the contact area with the soil and improve the survival rate. You can dip it in some rooting solution, or water soaked with willow branches, which also helps rooting

You can use river sand or nutrient soil for cuttings; both root fairly quickly. For nutrient soil, you can use peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite mixed in a 4:1:1 ratio. This kind of soil is loose and breathable, and after the cuttings survive, you do not even need to repot them

Insert the branches in, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and place them in a spot with indirect light. After about 30 days, the bougainvillea will grow new leaves. At this time, do not rush; bougainvillea grows leaves first and roots later. After about 40 days, it can root,

After transplanting, it grows very fast

The flowers are so beautiful, come and give it a try
