When is the best time to repot bougainvillea? How to care for it after repotting?

1. Suitable time for repotting

You should choose the right time to repot Bougainvillea. Generally, you can repot it as long as the temperature is not extremely high or extremely low. However, the best time to repot is spring and autumn. Not only is the temperature very suitable in these two seasons, but the humidity of the air is also very beneficial to the recovery of the plants. You don't need to change the pot too often. It is usually necessary to change it after 2-3 years of maintenance. In addition, it is recommended to do it on a sunny day, and try to avoid changing pots on rainy days.

2. How to maintain after repotting

1. Watering: After repotting the bougainvillea, the soil needs to be kept moist, so it needs to be watered thoroughly. You can also spray water appropriately during the acclimatization period, which can also prevent the air humidity from being too low and causing the leaves to dry out.

2. Light: After repotting, it should be kept in a place without light, because it cannot be exposed to the sun. It has to wait until it gradually adapts to the new environment before it can slowly accept light. However, it is important to block out light that is too strong.

3. Ventilation: The environment should not be too stuffy during the acclimatization period. Proper ventilation will also help it adapt to the new environment. But it should be noted that if there is strong wind, it should be shielded.

3. Notes on changing pots

The roots need to be trimmed during the repotting process, usually by cutting off the roots that are rotten, blackened, or growing poorly. After pruning the roots, they must be properly disinfected and dried, and cannot be planted directly in pots.
