Bougainvillea is a very beautiful flower and is also relatively common in homes. It has a long flowering period and a large flower volume, and the key point is that it is especially easy to grow. It can almost take root and sprout just by sticking a branch into the soil until the tree is full of blooms. Of course, even if a flower is easy to grow, some flower lovers still fail to grow it well. The most common problem is that it only grows leaves and does not bloom. Let's take a look at how to make it bloom more.

A lack of light will seriously affect the flower volume of bougainvillea. Bougainvillea naturally likes sufficient light. If it is grown in a place with insufficient sunlight, it will not be able to carry out photosynthesis, which is not conducive to the formation of chlorophyll, and this will cause the problem of not growing leaves, and some of the original leaves will also have problems. Therefore, it must be grown in an environment with sufficient light.

For all flowers with a large flower volume, fertilizing before the flowering period is indispensable. When fertilizing bougainvillea, it is generally best to mainly use farmyard manure and organic fertilizer, combined with 15% compound fertilizer. You can also use some common household waste to make homemade fertilizer for bougainvillea. For example, fruit peels, vegetable leaves, tea residue, and so on can all be used to compost fertilizer for growing bougainvillea, and the effect is also very good.

If you want to grow bougainvillea beautifully, it must be comprehensively pruned 2 times each year. How should bougainvillea be pruned? When pruning bougainvillea, you must master three principles: short, heavy, and thin. Shorten horizontal branches, heavily prune new branches, and thin out dense branches and weak branches.

Bougainvillea has brilliant flower colors and many color types, making it very suitable for placing at home. Especially during festivals, it can create a very good atmosphere.
