Bougainvillea not blooming? Chances are you bought the wrong variety

Gardeners often leave comments for Chengcheng, saying that their bougainvillea has been getting water control after pruning, so why is it still not blooming? Today Chengcheng will explain to everyone: why does bougainvillea still not bloom after pruning and water control?

I have told everyone before that if you want bougainvillea to bloom abundantly, pruning and water control are definitely both essential!

But this only applies to some varieties that bloom frequently, such as Angus, Tas, and others. These varieties bloom frequently; as long as you prune promptly after the flowers fade and control water, their next wave of blooming will come very soon!

Moreover, with these frequently blooming varieties, after pruning and water control, even if we do not fertilize them, they can still bloom again very quickly, though the number of flowers may be a bit smaller!

But if the bougainvillea we grow is a red, deep red, or even purple variety, after pruning, even if we control water very hard, it is still very difficult for it to bloom!

Because these varieties bloom twice a year, and spring and autumn are their flowering seasons. In other seasons, no matter how much you control water or fertilize, they will not bloom!

Many gardeners may ask, then if what you are growing is a deep red or red bougainvillea, does that mean you do not need to prune or control water?

Let me tell everyone: no matter what variety of bougainvillea you grow, pruning and water control are both essential. For those that bloom frequently, through pruning and water control, we can quickly make them bloom again and bloom more!

And for bougainvillea that blooms only twice a year, by pruning and controlling water, we can make it sprout more side shoots. Only when there are more side shoots will it bloom abundantly when the flowering season arrives!

Moreover, through pruning and water control, our bougainvillea will also maintain a beautiful plant shape, so that when the flowering season arrives, it will look even better!
