When it comes to bougainvillea, almost no flower lover finds it unfamiliar, right? It can be seen everywhere in our cities, and its flowering period is very long - it seems to bloom all year round. This season is exactly the flowering period of bougainvillea. If you want your bougainvillea to produce a tree full of blooms, you need to know these tips.

Bougainvillea is quite drought-tolerant. After the surface of the potting soil dries out, even under strong sun, bougainvillea can hold out for at least 2-3 days before its leaves start to wilt. From this, you can see that bougainvillea actually does not need much watering, so even if you are lazy you do not have to worry about failing to grow it well. On the contrary, if you water too much, it can instead lead to root rot and poor growth.

Bougainvillea loves light. Make sure it gets at least 4 hours of sunlight per day. When caring for bougainvillea, you must place it in the sunniest spot in your home, and combine this with water control in the earlier stage, so it is easier for it to produce more flower buds. If your balcony does not get enough light, you can often move it outdoors to get some sun.

If you want bougainvillea to bloom, you need to prune its flowering branches. If your bougainvillea has long, drawn-out branches, you should cut the branches short, keeping two nodes on each branch and cutting off all the rest. Its sprouting ability is extremely strong, and it will quickly send out side branches. The more branches that grow, the more flowers it will produce.

Bougainvillea is very fond of fertilizer. We can directly water it with organic fertilizer such as urine, or if you find that too troublesome, go buy some compound fertilizer or nutrient solution. With sufficient nutrition, it will bloom all year round.
