This flower is best planted right now; the seeds come to life as soon as they go into the pot, and it blooms beautifully for more than 200 days.

In the hot summer, gardening enthusiasts love to grow foliage plants at home; their lush green leaves not only purify the air but also lift your mood. But now that autumn has arrived, many gardening fans want to grow some potted plants they can enjoy for their flowers, yet they do not know which flowers to grow. Today, the editor will introduce a particularly easy-to-grow flower that is perfect for planting right now: just toss the seeds into a pot and they will come to life, it blooms for more than 200 days, and it is especially beautiful.

This flower is the bougainvillea. Bougainvillea has vivid colors and, when grown as a potted flowering plant, has extremely high ornamental value; it can also be used as a cut flower. It is a kind of leaf flower with a unique leaf shape, so it is also called the naked-leaf bougainvillea. It is easy to care for and readily blooms in a full burst of color, making it a potted flowering plant especially suited to being grown on a balcony.

Bougainvillea likes a warm environment and also likes an environment with plenty of light, so we should give it ample light, and when it blooms, the branches are covered in flowers. Bougainvillea needs strong light; in semi-shade it will drop its leaves and flowers, so it is only suitable for placement on a sunny balcony or on a rack outside the balcony for viewing.

Bougainvillea has a high demand for water, and insufficient water easily causes flower drop. In normal watering, follow the principle of "do not water until dry, and when you water, water thoroughly." But to get neat blooming and many flowers, you must withhold water before it blooms. During the growing season, insufficient light will cause the plant to grow weak and affect flowering. It should be placed in a bright spot, otherwise a large number of leaves are likely to drop.

Also, if you want the bougainvillea to grow better and better, you can prune it appropriately after flowering. This not only makes the plant shape more perfect and raises its ornamental value, but also concentrates the nutrients so the flowers grow better and more abundantly. A bougainvillea raised this way is especially beautiful.

Gardening enthusiasts who love growing flowers can get a pot of bougainvillea right now. If you have any other good flowers to recommend, you can share them with everyone in the comment box below!
