1. When to fertilize

2. What to do if you apply too much fertilizer?

Feeding bougainvillea can be done in spring, early summer and autumn, usually once every half month. Do not do it when the pot soil is wet. The time of fertilization should be chosen well, and it should be done in the morning or evening in summer. If you accidentally over-fertilize, you can rinse the soil in the pot with water. If it is buried shallowly in the soil, dig out the fertilizer. But if its root system has been damaged, you need to remove the pot and prune the root system.

1. When to fertilize

Fertilizing bougainvillea needs to be done in spring, early summer and autumn. Do not fertilize too frequently. Usually, fertilizing once every half month is enough. Fertilizer should be applied when the pot soil is dry. If the soil is too wet, do not fertilize. Fertilization in summer requires attention, fertilizer control, and time selection should be appropriate. Fertilization should be done in the morning or evening, and no fertilization should be done at noon. Fertilizer is generally stopped in winter because it grows very slowly, and the fertilizer applied before winter can meet its needs.

2. What to do if you apply too much fertilizer

If the fertilizer is mixed with water, you can use a large amount of watering. The clean water can wash the soil in the pot and dilute the excess fertilizer well. If the fertilizer is buried shallowly on the soil surface, you can dig it out and remove the fertilizer directly. If there is a lot of separation between soil and fertilizer, it will be necessary to replace it with new soil.

If the root system is damaged due to excessive fertilization, Rotten roots should also be pruned and strictly disinfected and dried. Finally, after potting, water it thoroughly and wait for it to slow down the seedlings. During the slowing down period, it should not be exposed to the sun.

3. How to control the amount of fertilizer applied

When fertilizing plants, the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently should be the amount of fertilizer applied, so as not to harm the plants. Heavy fertilizer can be applied during budding, and during the seedling period, the dilution ratio should be increased.
