Grow bougainvillea this way, and a explosion of blooms with lush green leaves will no longer be a problem

Bougainvillea is favored by many people, not only because of its unique flower shape and brilliant, eye-catching blooms when it flowers, but also because it carries an auspicious and festive meaning. Of course, the premise is naturally that the bougainvillea we grow must be well cared for.

But many flower lovers also say that it is not hard to get bougainvillea to grow lush branches and leaves, yet its blooming is sparse and scattered. Getting it to bloom all over the tree or even overflow the pot is simply too hard. In fact, as long as we give it some of these waters during care, getting bougainvillea to overflow the pot is actually a very easy thing. These waters include two kinds, and the editor will introduce them to you in detail next.

The first kind: beer water

Beer contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, and these gases are exactly what plants and flowers need indispensably for metabolism. Besides this, beer also contains nutrients such as sugar, protein and amino acids, all of which can supplement bougainvillea with phosphorus fertilizer and a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and it will not burn the roots either.

After all, this beer water has so many uses, so what exactly is the specific way to make it? It is actually just mixing beer and water evenly at a ratio of 1:15 before use. When watering bougainvillea, note that it is best to pour it into the pot so it can carry out some photosynthesis. In fact, when using beer, we do not necessarily have to buy new beer; of course, expired beer can be used as well.

Besides the water above, there are of course other waters too. Bougainvillea likes loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil, so the second kind of water the editor wants to introduce to you here is rice washing water. Rice washing water is weakly acidic, which exactly matches the growth needs of bougainvillea, and the surface of rice contains potassium. After being fermented and decomposed, this can not only provide bougainvillea with sufficient potassium, but also acidify the soil environment very well.

One more thing flower lovers need to note is that rice washing water gives off a foul smell when it is decomposing. If you worry that our rice washing water smells rather strong during fermentation, we can also add a little vinegar, and this way its smell can be removed. Well, after hearing this, don't you think these two kinds of water are very easy to use? The materials needed for these two kinds of water are basically found in every household. Preparing them is also simple and straightforward. After the bougainvillea is fed with them, when it blooms, the whole tree is full of blooming flowers, just like a peacock spreading its tail.

Although using these two kinds of water to grow bougainvillea is beneficial to its growth, during this period we still need to pay attention to the care methods for bougainvillea. Only when care is done well and, at the same time, water resources are added to it appropriately, will the bougainvillea certainly be able to grow very well!
