2. Can bougainvillea be replanted after pruning it?

Pruned bougainvillea branches can be replanted, but the survival rate is not high because the cut branches usually do not grow well. . In particular, some diseased branches, weak branches and leggy branches are even more difficult to insert. If you want the cut branches to survive, you need to cut long, strong and healthy branches. Such branches will take root faster and have a high survival rate.

In addition, the suitable time for cutting is 3-6 between months, and the daily pruning time is not fixed. If cuttings are cut in autumn and winter, it will be difficult to take root. Therefore, the time of pruning will also directly affect whether it can survive.
