Recently, many flower friends have told Huahua that the bougainvillea grown at home has begun to lose leaves since winter, and the flower buds have not sprouted much. In fact, bougainvillea is a very common flower in our lives. It can not only be used as a potted plant, but can also be grown directly outdoors. Although its vitality is relatively tenacious, if you want it to survive this cold winter stably, you still need to master certain methods of maintenance. Huahua is here to teach you a few tricks!

1. Appropriate watering

Watering is a technical task for flower care. Sometimes watering too much or too little will cause the death of flowers. Bougainvillea is not a water-loving plant in normal times, so watering in winter needs to be more controlled. Before each watering, check the dryness of the soil in the pot and make sure it is completely dry before watering it thoroughly at once. Especially in the early blooming stage of bougainvillea, water control is even more important.

2. Ensure lighting

Bougainvillea itself is a light-loving plant. If you want it to grow luxuriantly, it needs a lot of light to bloom. Bougainvillea is not afraid of strong light. In winter, because the temperature is low, the sunlight at this time is relatively soft, so it is even more important to ensure sufficient light, so that the bougainvillea can absorb sufficient nutrients and grow faster.

3. Fertilize appropriately

Fertilizer can play an important role in the growth rate of a flower. Because the bougainvillea continues to grow in winter, you can choose to add some fertilizer to it at this time, but not too much, lest the fertilizer effect is too strong to be absorbed and the roots will rot. You can choose decomposed fertilizer as fertilizer, which can make more flower buds pop up.

4. Regular pruning

I believe many florists feel this way, that they don’t want to prune flowers, and feel that cutting off dense branches will greatly reduce the aesthetics. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. Although pruning branches will destroy a certain degree of aesthetics, when we prune dead and rotten branches, it is equivalent to providing other branches with space to grow, and it will be easier for side buds to sprout.
