Bougainvillea is not suitable for outdoor planting in the north, but it can be potted indoors with heating. Because it is a plant that is abundant in the tropics and is resistant to heat but not cold. In winter, the outdoor temperature in the north is difficult to meet its growth needs. However, if you keep it indoors and give it the right temperature, it can grow well in the north.

1. Reason

1. Reason

Bougainvillea is native to Africa. It is a plant that likes light and temperature. It can withstand high temperatures but not cold. Bougainvillea is located in the north of Qinling Mountains and must be maintained manually. It should be ensured that the temperature is above 8-10°C. Below 8℃, without sufficient sunlight, it is difficult for it to survive. In places with a suitable climate, such as Hainan, Guangzhou and other places, traces of bougainvillea can be seen everywhere on the streets.

2. Planting methods

For planting in summer, water can be watered after the pot soil is dry or the leaves are wilted. Repeat for half a month to one month and then water normally. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-30℃. If the temperature exceeds 35℃, water it in time. Spray water or ventilate. During winter breeding, place it indoors in a south window to ensure about 8 hours of light.

3. Precautions

Don’t just use nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing. Applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote flower opening and prevent leggy growth. Potted plants need to be pruned frequently. Three-way pruning can be done before the flowering period every year. The more side branches there are, the more flowers will bloom.
