Bougainvillea Bougainvillea is cultivated in both the north and the south. It is mostly grown in the south, while it is mostly grown in pots in the north. The main reason is that bougainvillea is a typical southern flower and cannot survive the winter outdoors in the north. But it does not affect its flowering period at all. There are many varieties of bougainvillea with many flower colors. They have large flowers, long flowering period, and are easy to grow. They are very popular among flower lovers.
No, the flowering period of bougainvillea is coming soon. During August and September, when we raise bougainvillea, we must do "1 light, 1 diligent, 1 less, 1 more" in order to allow the flower buds to differentiate more, so start early. Entering the flowering period.
1. 1 light 1 Qin
, 1 light
Light refers to light pruning. After the temperature drops, the bougainvillea will enter a rapid growth period. At this time, a pruning is required, but this time the pruning is mainly light pruning. Of course, if you don't care about it blooming, you can trim it as you like.
The purpose of light pruning is to make it re-flower as quickly as possible. Avoid cutting off the flower buds. If you want to reshape it, you can wait until winter to prune it. It is completely unnecessary now. Moreover, pruning only needs to follow the flowering principle of the bougainvillea.
Bougainvillea blooms on new branches, but old branches will not bloom. Therefore, when pruning, you must distinguish the old and new branches. Do not cut off the new branches casually, which will affect the flowering time, because the new branches will grow again. .

Frequent fertilization refers to frequent fertilization. Before the bougainvillea enters the flowering period, it needs a large amount of phosphorus and potassium elements to support it in completing flower bud differentiation and breeding buds. In this process, if nutrient reserves are insufficient, it will affect the flowering period. , the quantity and quality of bougainvillea blooms.
Flower fertilizers that supplement a large amount of phosphorus and potassium elements are mainly potassium dihydrogen phosphate and Huaduoduo No. 2. For bougainvillea, I personally feel that Huaduoduo No. 2 is more suitable. It not only contains phosphorus and potassium elements, but also It contains nitrogen, calcium and other elements and a variety of trace elements, which have a good effect on promoting the flowering of bougainvillea.
When using Huaduoduo No. 2, pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently. Don’t read the ratio in the instruction manual. Just use the small spoon provided by the merchant. Add about 1000 grams of water to a small flat spoon to become a nutrient solution. , according to this ratio, mix the appropriate amount. If you mix too much, it will be a waste. If you really have a lot, you can root it and deal with it. However, use it once a week to 10 days until the flower buds change color and start to enter the flowering period.
2. 1 less 1 more
, 1 less
less refers to less watering. The bougainvillea needs to control water before entering the flowering period. With sufficient water supply, the bougainvillea will only continue to grow branches and will not differentiate and bloom. Water control is to control the transformation of bougainvillea from vegetative growth to reproductive growth . Proper water control is a great tool to promote bougainvillea.
However, water control cannot be arbitrary. The bougainvillea is in disease, growing thin and weak, and the branches are sparse and weak. It is not ready to bloom at all. At this time, it is necessary to do a good job of water and fertilizer maintenance to restore the bougainvillea to normal. , so that you can think about blooming instead of blindly controlling water.
Make sure that the bougainvillea grows strong, has sufficient nutrition, and has luxuriant branches and leaves. If it does not bloom, it may be that you have watered it too much. You need to control the water and wait until all the leaves are wilted before watering again. After three consecutive times, it will basically transform into reproductive growth, that is to say, it will enter the flowering period.

You may have guessed the meaning of more, which means more light and more sun. Bougainvillea is a light-loving flower. If you want to grow well and bloom abundantly, you cannot do without sufficient light. This is also the reason why Bougainvillea is not suitable for indoor cultivation.In the absence of light, the bougainvillea will have very few flowers, the flowers will be thin, and the blooms will be scattered or even non-flowering.
Bougainvillea is an outdoor ground plant or potted plant in the south. The light it receives must be sufficient, and it is also very sun-resistant. Therefore, flower lovers who grow bougainvillea in the north should remember not to maintain bougainvillea indoors. If possible, try to breed outdoors. If not, they should be cultured on a south-facing balcony or windowsill with sufficient light, preferably no less than 6 hours.
Bougainvillea needs sufficient light, mainly for photosynthesis . Only sufficient photosynthesis can convert all the nutrients needed by bougainvillea. These nutrients determine the flower bud differentiation and flowering quality and quantity of bougainvillea. If there is no suitable Adequate light and good water and fertilizer management are useless.
PS: Qinhua Lazy Flower
, Qinhua Varieties
There are many varieties of Bougainvillea, but they are divided into Qinhua and Lazy Flower varieties. Generally, there are many popular Qinhua varieties on the market, such as water red, green cherry, California Gold, Angus, Tongan Red, etc. They are all species worth raising.
, lazy flower varieties
There are also varieties worth cultivating among the lazy flower varieties, such as India Illustrated, Little Leaf Purple, Pink Lady, etc. that I like, which are also very good and worth cultivating.
Conclusion:
For bougainvillea, its reproductive ability is also worthy of praise. If you like bougainvillea, you don’t have to buy it. You can try to find some florists who raise bougainvillea, and they are usually willing to give it. I hope everyone’s bougainvillea flowering season comes earlier. Okay, I am Xiaogui, and I am serious about growing flowers!
