Can I fertilize the bougainvillea during its flowering period? Can I water it during its flowering period?

1. Can I fertilize during flowering?

Bougainvillea can be fertilized during its flowering period, but since its demand for fertilizer is not very large, it is necessary to be cautious when fertilizing it during the flowering period. If fertilizer is not applied properly, it is easy for flower buds to fall off, flowering period to be short or other situations to occur. Therefore, during the flowering period, try to give it some mild fertilizer. Rice water and orange peel water are good choices. Not only are they pure natural but also very convenient to obtain, and the plant can easily absorb them.

2. Can you water the flowers?

Bougainvillea can be watered during its flowering period. Not only does it need watering, but its demand for water will also increase relatively during the flowering period. Flowering consumes a lot of water and nutrients, so try to water it as soon as possible when the soil is slightly dry.

If you water the plant in summer, do not do it at noon. The temperature inside the flowerpot is relatively high at noon. If the temperature of the water is relatively low, the sudden drop in temperature will affect its roots. It is best to water it in the morning or evening. If it is grown indoors, the air may be a little dry. Many friends like to spray water on the plants to moisturize them. If there are new flower buds on the plants, do not spray water on the flower buds, as this will easily cause premature withering.
