1. Temperature

Bougainvillea is afraid of freezing. The maintenance temperature in winter should be above 7℃. When the temperature is lower than 10℃, the water must be cut off. When the temperature rises above 10℃, at noon when the light is good, Slip a little less water along the edge of the basin.

5. Pruning

When raising bougainvillea in winter, special attention must be paid to avoid heavy pruning. After heavy pruning, the leaves of bougainvillea will be reduced, which will affect photosynthesis, reduce the amount of organic matter transported downward, and the root system will easily become stiff after the root system is deprived of food. If you want to prune, just prune lightly after the flowers have faded. This will help the bougainvillea grow and bloom next spring.
