Soil: It is best to use loose soil with good drainage. You can configure the soil yourself. Temperature: Try to maintain the temperature at around 15-30°C, not higher than 35°C or lower than 5°C. Loose soil: Loosen it regularly to prevent soil compaction, and spray it once a year. Light: It should receive enough sunlight during the growth period, and can be in the sun all day long in winter. In addition, more pruning should be done during maintenance.

1. Soil

Bougainvillea does not have high requirements for soil, as long as it is not poorly drained soil, it can be used. It is best to use loose soil with strong drainage. Humus soil, original soil, and sand soil can be mixed and used in a ratio of 2:2:1.

2. Temperature

The breeding temperature should be maintained at 15-30°C as much as possible, but when the temperature in summer is higher than 35°C, the temperature should be cooled down through watering, ventilation, etc. Keeping it indoors in winter can meet the temperature needs, as long as it is not lower than 5℃.

3. Loose soil

Cultivation soil is prone to compaction. In order not to affect the growth of bougainvillea, it needs to be loosened on time. If the soil is too compact, water will easily accumulate in the pot. In addition, the root system of the plant grows very quickly, so it is best to change the potting soil once every one year of cultivation.

4. Lighting

It likes sunlight and should be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight during growth. If the breeding environment is too dark, the growth will be poor and its flowering will be affected. After entering winter, it can be raised in the sun all day long, ensuring no less than 8 hours of light per day.

5. Precautions

During the growth period of the plant, attention should be paid to timely pruning to facilitate the growth of side branches, but the extent of pruning should not be too large each time. Diseased branches, weak branches, and cross branches can be cut off after spring to reduce nutrient consumption.
