Remember these points when bougainvillea blooms, and the flowering period will be long without buds dropping

Bougainvillea tends to drop its flower buds, and it may be due to these reasons: 1. Lack of light 2. Lack of fertilizer 3. Lack of water. Missing any one of these can easily cause flower drop.

1. Lack of light: bougainvillea needs sufficient light during the flowering period. In spring, it is best to give it full sun, so that the flowers will be vivid. With insufficient light, the flowers are small, the flower color is dull, and the flower buds drop.

2. Lack of fertilizer: before bougainvillea blooms, it needs phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to support flowering. If phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is insufficient, it is prone to flower drop, bud drop, and nutrient deficiency. Before bougainvillea blooms, we should apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer two or three times, once every 10 days, together with water control and full sun. In this way, it will bloom abundantly, with large and brightly colored flowers, and be very robust.

3. Lack of water: bougainvillea needs sufficient water during the flowering period. If water is lacking, it is prone to flower drop. With too much water shortage, it is easy for all the flower buds to drop. Therefore, during the flowering period, bougainvillea must be watered thoroughly. After flowering, promptly cut off the spent flowers, prune the branches, and at the same time apply a multi-element organic fertilizer or general-purpose fertilizer, so that it can replenish the nutrients consumed by flowering. If you want bougainvillea to bloom again, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once about every 10 days, then control water,

Wait until the leaves of the bougainvillea are a little wilted, then water it a little, and the next day the leaves can stand up again, then control water again. Repeat this, and after about a month of water control, you can see flower buds emerging. At this time, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once more, and it can bloom again, blooming abundantly, with no leaves visible among the flowers. It has very high ornamental value.
