5. Temperature requirements

Bougainvillea is relatively easy to grow and can tolerate barren soil. It can be repotted once a year in sandy soil with good humus content. It likes to grow in a place with good light, but newly planted seedlings should be placed in semi-shade first. It is more afraid of waterlogging. It needs to wait until the soil dries out before watering it thoroughly at one time. The amount of water should not be too much. Fertilizer can be applied every two weeks during the vigorous growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied before flowering. It is not cold-resistant and is prone to frostbite. The temperature in winter is not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

1. Loose soil

Bougainvillea is relatively easy to grow. It does not have very high requirements for soil and can tolerate poor soil. However, in order to ensure good growth, it is best to provide suitable Soil. Sandy soil with good humus content can be used. It can be prepared with humus soil, garden soil and sandy soil, and the pots should be changed once a year.

2. Sufficient sunshine

Bougainvillea has a high demand for light and likes to grow in a place with good light. As long as sufficient sunlight is ensured, normal growth can be maintained, the branches and leaves can be luxuriant, and the flowers can bloom vigorously. The newly planted seedlings should be placed in a semi-shady place away from strong light.

3. Proper watering

It is more afraid of waterlogging. Too much watering will cause the pot soil to accumulate water and cause the roots to rot. Daily watering needs to wait until the soil dries out, and then water thoroughly at one time to ensure there is enough water, but not too much water. Pay attention to water control before the flowering period, otherwise it will affect the growth of flower buds.

4. Reasonable fertilization

It prefers fertilizer, has a relatively long flowering period, and has a large number of flowers, so it can be fertilized every two weeks during its vigorous growth period. Pay attention to applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering to ensure the quantity and quality of flowering.

5. Temperature requirements

It is not cold-resistant and is easily frostbitten, so you must pay attention to the temperature in winter and try not to lower it below 5 degrees Celsius.
