1. Soil

1. Soil

The soil of bougainvillea needs loose and well-drained soil. The soil should be loosened continuously during planting to avoid soil clumping. It is difficult to survive in alkaline and heavy clay soil. Generally, a soil with a ratio of humus soil, garden soil, and sandy soil of 4:4:2 is used for cultivation, or pond mud is dried and some coal cake residue is added as the culture soil. . Its root system is well developed and it is recommended to repot it once a year.

2. Lighting

Bougainvillea is native to Africa and is a light-loving plant. It needs sufficient light during the growing season, otherwise the plant will weaken. In winter, it should be placed in a south-facing window with no less than 8 hours of sunlight, otherwise leaves will fall easily. It is not sensitive to light during the winter dormancy period and can reduce light.

3. Temperature

Bougainvillea likes temperature and light. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-30℃. It can withstand high temperatures of about 35℃ in summer. However, when the temperature is too high, it must be removed in time. Water spraying, ventilation, etc. should be maintained at no lower than 5℃ in winter, otherwise they will be forced to enter the dormant period.

4. Moisture

When watering, "don't water dry, water thoroughly". Water should be controlled before flowering. Control watering starting in September. Water after the pot soil is dry and the branches and leaves are soft and drooping. Water normally after half a month. During water control, do not fertilize.

5. Fertilization

In the peak growing season from April to July, fertilize every 7-10 days. The fertilizer should be 10-20% decomposed bean cake, rapeseed cake water or human feces. water etc. After August, phosphate fertilizer will be used as the main fertilizer, fertilizing once every 10 days, and 20% decomposed chicken, duck, pigeon manure and fish offal and other liquid fertilizers will be used. After the flowering period in October, fertilize every half month.
