In the winter and spring, the colorful bracts show up, giving people an unrestrained and enthusiastic feeling, hence the name He Chunhong.
Bougainvillea breeding methods and matters needing attention
Soil: The soil for bougainvillea cultivation can be made from garden soil, leaf humus soil, and fine sand. Watering: water once a day in spring and twice a day in summer. Keep the pot soil moist in autumn and reduce watering in winter. Fertilization: apply appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer in spring, apply phosphate fertilizer several times during flowering period, and stop fertilization in winter. Light temperature: 20-30℃, more than 8 hours of light per day.
The soil of Bougainvillea is generally mixed with garden soil, mulch soil, and fine sand, with an appropriate amount of bone meal added. Buy back small pots of Bougainvillea directly from the flower market. There is no need to change the soil in the short term, just use the original soil. After cultivating for 1 to 2 years, some new soil is replaced when changing the pots. The proportioning method is as follows (I don't tell him for ordinary people):
Garden soil: mulch soil: sand is mixed according to the ratio of 5:3:2, or peat soil: mulch soil: sand: perlite is mixed according to the ratio of 5:2:2:1.
Bougainvillea requires a relatively large amount of water, and watering varies slightly in each season:
In spring, the growth of Bougainvillea gradually accelerates, and it needs to be watered every day, and water is often sprayed on the leaves and surroundings to increase the air humidity. If there is less watering in spring, the humidity will be insufficient, causing leaves to fall.
In summer, Bougainvillea needs water to be watered, watered twice a day, sprayed in the morning, and watered once after 4 pm.
In autumn, after the temperature drops, keep the pot soil moist. Reduce watering when the temperature is lower than 10℃ and keep the pot soil dry. If the temperature is above 15°C, water can be properly watered.
Reduce watering in winter, and do not water the pot soil.
Bougainvillea likes fertilizer. After the weather becomes warm in spring, nitrogen fertilizer is applied every 10-15 days, cake fertilizer water is applied once a week during the growth period, and phosphate fertilizer is applied several times during the flowering period. Reduce the amount of fertilization after the autumn is cool, and stop fertilizing in winter. During the peak season of growth and flowering, spray 1000 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves 2 to 3 times, or topdressing general fertilizer once every 10 days.
Note: Bougainvillea is very sensitive to urea. Improper fertilization may result in lush foliage and few flowers, so be careful when applying urea.
The suitable temperature for the growth of Bougainvillea is 20~30℃, and leaves will appear when the temperature is lower than 5℃ in winter.
Bougainvillea likes light, but the lack of light will weaken the growth of the plants, which will affect flowering. Bougainvillea should be placed in a bright place in winter, and the daily light time should not be less than 8 hours, otherwise a large area of fallen leaves will appear.
Bougainvillea seeds planting methods and precautions
The most suitable planting time is from May to June, and it is best to plant in pots indoors.
Peel the bougainvillea seeds, peel off the dry flower tubes, and then soak them in a potassium permanganate solution for about ten minutes for disinfection, so that it will not be invaded by mildew.
It is best to choose a loose and air-permeable medium, so that the germination rate is relatively high, and a mixture of garden soil and nutrient soil can also be used, but the garden soil should be disinfected, and the garden soil should not be used alone.
Cover the seeds in the soil to a depth of 0.5 cm. The most suitable germination temperature is 18-22°C. After sowing, the general Bougainvillea seeds can germinate in about 10-40 days, but some have a longer cycle, so everyone must be patient.
5. Management after sowing
At the seedling stage of Bougainvillea, pay attention to the management of water and fertilizer. When the true leaves grow to 3 to 4 pieces, the first transplant can be carried out. Pay attention to keeping a certain distance for planting.
