How long can the bougainvillea be exposed to the sun after repotting? What should I do if the roots are damaged by repotting?

1. How long can you bask in the sun after repotting?

After repotting, the roots of Bougainvillea need to be relaxed. It usually takes about a week. It will take about a week for it to slowly adapt. After adapting, it can be gradually exposed to the sun. Do not expose it to light right after repotting. Place it in a cool place, but ensure there is some ventilation. If the plant is exposed to the sun right after being repotted, its growth will be very fragile and may even die.

2. What to do if the roots are damaged by repotting?

During the repotting process, its root system may be damaged if you are not careful. If the roots are damaged, you need to disinfect it. You can also apply some charcoal powder to it to avoid infection. Moreover, you need to give it time to acclimate after potting it. As long as you pay more attention, it will not affect its growth. When the seedlings are acclimatizing, you need to hold off on exposing them to the sun and don't apply fertilizer. You can then maintain them normally after they have adapted to the pot.

3. Other matters needing attention

1. Soil selection: It is very important to choose suitable soil. It is recommended to use soil with good loosening ability. After preparation, it should be exposed to the sun, or disinfected with potassium permanganate.

2. Clean the roots: Clean off the soil on the roots so that you can see the true growth situation and avoid missing the rotten roots. If the rotten roots are not cut off and the plant is directly potted, it is likely to be infected during the acclimatization period.
