Tips and precautions for caring for bougainvillea in winter

1. Maintenance skills

1. Temperature: Temperature is the most important issue that needs attention. It is not cold-resistant and can easily be frostbitten, so start paying attention to temperature changes from the end of autumn. The surrounding living environment cannot be lower than 5 degrees Celsius. It can be relieved by itself in a short time, but it may have serious effects on the plants for a long time. Therefore, starting from the end of autumn, when the temperature drops sharply, it is necessary to move the plant to a warm indoor place for maintenance.

2. Light: The winter sun is not very strong and the surrounding temperature is relatively low. You can place it in a place with better light and expose it to more light. This is important for the color and quantity of the flowers. Do not place it in a place with poor light for a long time.

3. Water: It usually does not require much water. In winter, the evaporation rate of water will slow down a lot, so it is necessary to strictly control the application of water. It only needs to be applied once every 10-15 days. Applying it too frequently will cause waterlogging and the roots will easily rot.

2. Precautions

When watering it, you need to let the water sit for a while and wait until it reaches room temperature before watering it. It is best to do so at noon to avoid freezing the roots.
