3. Precautions

During the growth period of bougainvillea seedlings, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to it to promote the growth of branches and leaves. After the plant matures, apply a balanced compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Before flowering, mainly apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer is applied after the plant has matured, it will easily fail to bloom. When fertilizing, the fertilizer can be buried shallowly in the soil or diluted with water. Note that fertilizer cannot be applied when the temperature is too high or too low.

1. What fertilizer to apply

1. When the bougainvillea is still a small seedling, its branches are still very sparse and the plant size is also small. At this time, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizer 1-2 times. Promote the growth of branches and leaves. You can then apply some compound fertilizer to make the branches of the plant stronger.

2. For mature bougainvillea, it is mainly necessary to apply a balanced compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can provide nutrients for the plant to bloom. Usually after the new buds grow new leaves, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are mainly applied, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and help the plants bloom better. When it becomes a plant, do not apply a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will not bloom.

2. Is it buried directly in the soil?

When fertilizing bougainvillea, you can bury the fertilizer shallowly in the pot soil, or dilute it with water, and then pour it along the edge of the flower pot. Fertilization can use farmyard manure, compound fertilizer, or retting organic fertilizer. No matter which fertilizer is used, the concentration of the fertilizer should not be too high. And when the temperature is too low or too high, fertilization should also be stopped first.

3. Precautions

If you accidentally apply too much fertilizer, you can take out the fertilizer from the soil. But if it is watered after dilution, it can be diluted by pouring heavy water. Of course, if the situation is more serious, you need to remove the pot and replace the soil. If there are rotten roots, you need to perform reasonable pruning.
