Growing flowers can enrich your spare time and cultivate patience and carefulness, and at the same time placing a potted plant indoors can add color and luster to a dull environment. Moreover, when you often encounter beautiful things, your worries are swept away, and bougainvillea is just such a plant; its flowers are colorful and gorgeous, very beautiful, and it is a plant that many people like. In addition, bougainvillea is very easy to care for and can be managed roughly and casually.

What's more, bougainvillea has a very long flowering period and can bloom continuously for months; during this time, be a bit diligent and trim it often, and you can also propagate many pots at once, super simple.

Bougainvillea, also known as paperflower, has simple flowers, yet they are by no means lacking in elegance and beauty. It can be planted in the ground or in pots, and it grows extremely fast. If grown outdoors, it can climb up along the base of a wall, even reaching several stories high, which is particularly spectacular. If grown indoors and placed on a balcony, it will also climb along the railing, brilliantly colorful, dazzling and eye-catching.

Moreover, because bougainvillea grows very quickly, if it is grown indoors where space is limited, and also to make its plant shape more beautiful, you must prune it regularly, cutting away diseased branches, old branches, and densely growing branches. Also, leggy branches should be pruned to suppress apical dominance, which can promote the sprouting of side buds and can also make it bloom more.

Then the healthy bougainvillea branches that are cut off can be used for cutting propagation, with a survival rate of over 90 percent. Cut the branches into sections about 10 cm long, keep 1 to 2 leaves on each branch, insert them into a mixture of perlite and peat soil, and place them in a shady spot. During this time, keep the soil moist, and after about 20 days they will take root and survive. After that, they can be moved into pots, and you can propagate several pots at once; you won't even be able to give them all away to relatives and friends, and you can also sell them, growing flowers while making money, not losing out but actually gaining.
