With the development of society, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. Many people like to keep a few potted flowers at home. Placed indoors, they are warm and elegant, and many flowers are especially good at purifying the air, absorbing formaldehyde, absorbing carbon dioxide, absorbing dust... And in the process of growing flowers, one can also cultivate the mind and character.
As autumn arrives and the weather gradually turns cooler, many flower lovers worry that the flowers they grow will wither. Today, the editor will introduce a particularly easy-to-grow flower that can keep blooming even in winter, with bright blossoms, and this flower is just right to plant in September now. It is Bougainvillea.
Bougainvillea is not strict about soil, but it fears waterlogging and cannot tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, a loose, well-drained potting soil must be chosen. Generally, a potting soil made of 4 parts humus soil, 4 parts garden soil, and 2 parts sand can be used. Dried pond mud mixed with some coal cinder can also be used as potting soil.
When watering, follow the principle of "do not water until dry, and water thoroughly when watering." But to make the flowers bloom uniformly and abundantly, water control must be carried out before flowering. Starting in September, control the watering of Bougainvillea. Each watering should wait until the potting soil is dry and the branches and leaves are drooping. Repeat this continuously for half a month, then after half a month resume normal watering.
During the water control period, absolutely do not fertilize, so as to avoid fertilizer burning the root system. In this way, after about one month, buds will appear and the plant will bloom, and the flowers will open uniformly and profusely. It likes light and is a sun-loving flower. Insufficient light during the growing season will lead to weak plant growth and affect bud formation and flowering. Therefore, throughout the year, except that newly potted young plants should first be placed in a semi-shaded place.
The ornamental value of Bougainvillea is really high. Flower lovers who enjoy growing flowers can get a pot of Bougainvillea. If you have any flower-growing experience, you can also share it with everyone in the comment box below!
