How to grow bougainvillea so that it blooms well

1. Lighting

If you want to make bougainvillea bloom better, you should place it in a sunny location. This will not only help it grow better, but also make the color look better when it blooms, and there will be more flowers and a longer flowering period.

2. Watering

If you want more flowers or more beautiful flowers, it has a certain degree of drought resistance and is more afraid of waterlogging or too frequent watering. You must wait until the soil is dry before watering, and make sure to water thoroughly. Generally, you will start to withhold water before it blooms, and then water it after its leaves wilt. This way of watering can allow its buds to maintain their original shape. Then water it normally when the flower buds differentiate. It is best not to water the flowers and leaves when watering, as this is likely to shorten the flowering period.

3. Fertilization

In order to make it bloom better, you should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to make it bloom more beautifully. You can apply compound fertilizer before flowering, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers 1-2 times during flowering. This can increase the amount of flowers and prolong the flowering period.

4. Pruning

It is necessary to carry out appropriate pruning during its growing season, and the time for pruning is mostly in spring and summer. Cutting off branches that are too long and forked can help new branches sprout. If not pruned, there will be very few branches growing, and naturally fewer flowers will bloom. Reasonable pruning can help better flowering and increase the amount of flowering.
