Stick a bougainvillea branch into a flower pot, and in the blink of an eye it bursts into a thousand blooms

Bougainvillea is also known as paperflower. If cared for well, it will bloom into a big ball of flowers, with no leaves in sight, only flowers, and its flower colors are diverse and its varieties are numerous, so it is deeply loved by people,

In spring, bougainvillea should be properly pruned and watering controlled so that it will bloom abundantly. The branches cut off can be used for cuttings. As long as the temperature is around 20 degrees, cuttings can be taken at any time

Take a semi-lignified branch and cut it into small sections about 10 cm long, keeping two to three buds, and it is best to keep two leaves for photosynthesis,

Cut the lower end of the branch into a horseshoe shape to increase the contact area with the soil and improve the survival rate. You can dip it in some rooting water, or in water soaked with willow branches, which also helps rooting

You can use river sand or nutrient soil for cuttings, and rooting is relatively fast either way. For nutrient soil, you can use peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite in a 4:1:1 ratio to prepare such soil, which is loose and breathable, and after the cuttings survive, there is no need to repot them

Insert the branch into the soil, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and place it in a place with scattered light. After about 30 days, the bougainvillea will grow new leaves. At this time, do not rush. Bougainvillea grows leaves first and then roots. After about 40 days, it can take root,

After transplanting, it grows very quickly

The flowers are so beautiful, come and give it a try
