How to grow and prune bougainvillea seedlings

1. Pot soil selection

When planting and caring for bougainvillea seedlings, you need to choose suitable flowerpots and soil. The flowerpots should match the bougainvillea plants to ensure that there is space to accommodate the plant's growth. The soil must be breathable, have good permeability, and be able to drain normally, without too much water accumulation in the flowerpot. After one or two years of cultivation, you can change the pot and soil.

2. Adequate astigmatism

Bougainvillea is a very favorite flower plant, so when caring for it, lighting conditions are indispensable. Bougainvillea can be grown in a place with good lighting and kept under bright sunlight. This can promote the plant to synthesize nutrients through photosynthesis, thereby promoting the growth of the plant. It is very suitable to grow it on the balcony at home.

3. Water and fertilizer management

When caring for bougainvillea seedlings, you must do a good job of water and fertilizer management. During the growing season, keep the soil moist and water regularly to retain moisture. The evaporation rate is fast in summer, so you can increase watering appropriately. Don't rush to fertilize the new seedlings. You can fertilize every two weeks afterwards.

4. Pruning branches

During the cultivation process, the branches need to be properly pruned, and branches and leaves that are too long and dense should be cut off. Diseased and dead branches should also be cut off. This can reduce nutrient consumption and improve the light and ventilation properties of the plant.
