How to make the trunk of bougainvillea thicker

1. The flower pot should be suitable

When choosing a pot for it, try to choose some pots that are not too deep, so that it can be more water-permeable. The size of the pot should also match the plant. You can use a small pot to plant larger flowers, but never use a large pot to plant smaller flowers.

Second, fertilization should be sufficient

Giving the plants enough fertilizer is a step to ensure their healthy growth. This kind of flower likes fertilizer very much, so it should be fertilized once a week. You can give it fertilizer with a lower concentration, and you can fertilize more often.

If you want to promote its flowering, use phosphorus fertilizer as the main fertilizer. Apply it once before flowering and also during the flowering period. Add concentrated fertilizer again after the flowers wither. It likes slightly acidic soil, which should be fertile, loose and breathable enough.

3. Pruning should be timely

If you want to make it thicker, timely pruning is essential. Generally, plants have apical advantages and are very resistant to pruning, so frequent pruning will not cause harm to it. Pruning is generally divided into pruning after the flowers wither and pruning after winter.

Pruning it after it blooms is to make its shape more beautiful and allow the next batch of flowers to bloom earlier, so the rotten flowers should be cut off as early as possible, and the entire plant should be removed so that flowers can grow at the same time. When it goes into winter hibernation, you can prune it drastically to reduce its size. Leaving the main trunk part can make the trunk thicker and stronger.

IV. Precautions

1. It likes warm and humid areas, is not very resistant to severe cold, and likes sufficient light. It should be placed in a place with sufficient light for care. It should be placed indoors in winter, otherwise it will get frostbite. If the owner is careful enough, the trunk will naturally become thicker and thicker.

2. In hot summer and cold winter, its growth will become slow or it will enter a dormant state. At this time, stop fertilizing it, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage.
