Repot bougainvillea should be avoided when it is too cold or too hot, and it is most suitable to do it in spring and autumn. Repotting at this time is conducive to the recovery of the plant. When changing pots, you should pay attention to the weather in advance. It is better to do it on a sunny day, not on a rainy day. After changing the pot, water it thoroughly and place the potted plant in a cool place away from the sun. Moreover, the maintenance environment must be ventilated to avoid being too stuffy.

1. Suitable time for repotting

You should choose a suitable time for repotting Bougainvillea. Generally, repotting can be done as long as the temperature is not extremely high or low. However, the most suitable time for repotting is spring and autumn. Not only are the temperatures very suitable in these two seasons, but the humidity of the air is also very beneficial to plant recovery. You don’t need to change the basin too often. It is usually replaced after 2-3 years of maintenance. In addition, it is recommended to do it on a sunny day, and try to avoid changing pots on rainy days.

2. How to maintain after repotting

1. Watering: After changing the pot, the bougainvillea needs to keep the soil moist, so it needs to be watered thoroughly. You can also spray water appropriately during potting to prevent the leaves from drying out due to low air humidity.

2. Light: After changing the basin, it should be raised in a place without light, because it cannot bask in the sun. It must wait until it gradually adapts to the new environment before it can slowly receive light. However, too strong light must be shielded.

3. Ventilation: The environment during the period of potting is also important. It should not be too stuffy and should be properly ventilated, which will also help it adapt to the new environment. However, it should be noted that if there is strong wind, it must be covered.

3. Precautions for repotting

During the process of repotting, root pruning is required. Usually, root systems that are rotten, black, etc. that are not growing well are cut off. After pruning the roots, they must be properly disinfected and dried, and they cannot be planted directly in pots.
