2. Precautions

If all the leaves of the plant have fallen off in winter, cut off the dead branches first and check the root system for damage. If most of the roots are damaged, the pot needs to be repotted. If the root system is less damaged, there is no need to repot. If not repotting, add soil to keep warm and keep the temperature at around 16-25°C. Finally, it is necessary to provide it with a suitable growing environment to promote better germination of new branches and leaves.

1. Treatment method

1. Cut off some dry twigs first. Frostbitten branches will consume nutrients if not cut off. Use a pair of chopsticks to slowly peel away the pot soil and check for damage to the roots. If most of the roots are black, the roots need to be pruned and repotted; if the roots are mostly white, there is no need to repot.

2. If you need to change the pot, slow down the seedling first. Don't water it a lot. Just pour some water along the edge of the pot. If you don't need to change the pot, you need to add a layer of soil to keep it warm. It is best to place it in a place with a temperature of 16-25°C.

3. The last step is to promote the germination of new shoots. , it needs humidity, temperature and nutrients to germinate. You need to spray some thin fertilizer on the plants to ensure that the temperature is not too low, the humidity is not too high, and there is proper ventilation.

2. Precautions

Winter is a very cold season. If you want bougainvillea to survive the winter smoothly, you must find a relatively warm environment to breed it. You cannot raise it outdoors. If the temperature is too low, the plants will be frostbitten, which will cause leaf fall, so we must pay attention to it.
