1. Soil selection for bougainvillea planting
The soil of Bougainvillea is generally mixed with garden soil, mulch soil, and fine sand, with an appropriate amount of bone meal added.
Garden soil: mulch soil: sand, mixed according to the ratio of 5:3:2
Peat soil: mulch soil: sand: perlite, mixed according to the ratio of 5:2:2:1
2. Watering method for bougainvillea planting
Bougainvillea likes moist soil and is afraid of water stains. In spring, as the growth vigor accelerates, watering is required every day, and the leaves and surrounding areas are often sprinkled with water to increase the air humidity. The air humidity is insufficient and leaves are easily fallen. Bougainvillea has many leaves, which consumes a lot of water in summer. It is best to water each day in the morning and evening to keep the soil moist and increase the frequency of sprinkling water on its leaves and surroundings. After the temperature is cool in autumn, keep the pot soil moist. In late autumn, winter, and early spring,, watering less when the temperature is low (about 10°C), which will make the soil in the pot dry. However, if the indoor temperature is kept above 15°C, watering should be used more to make the soil in the pot moist.
3. Fertilization method for bougainvillea planting
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 phosphorus 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 2 to 3 times on the leaves, or topdressing 1000 times "Flower Duoduo" universal fertilizer once every 10 days.
Bougainvillea is very sensitive to urea, if improper fertilization, it may produce luxuriant branches and foliage but less blooming, so be careful when applying urea.
The vegetative growth period of Bougainvillea is after the flowers wither in spring, urea can be applied once every 1 week. This can not only supplement the consumption of plants after flowering, but also promote the growth of new branches, laying a good foundation for reproductive growth.
Some liquid fertilizers should be applied thinly in summer. If conditions permit, 0.2% to 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be used as foliar topdressing once every half month.In the early stage of flowering branch growth, urea still needs to be applied once, which can promote the growth of flowering branches.
4. Sunlight and temperature requirements for Bougainvillea planting
The suitable temperature for the growth of Bougainvillea is 15-30℃, and the temperature in winter is below 5℃ and it is easy to be frozen and fallen leaves.
Bougainvillea likes sunlight. Insufficient sunlight during the growing season will lead to weak plant growth and affect flowering. It should be placed in a bright place in winter, and the sunlight should not be less than 8 hours a day, otherwise a lot of fallen leaves will easily appear.
