In spring, bougainvillea is watered in this way, with many buds and branches full of flowers, 100 flowers at a time.
The simplest propagation method of bougainvillea is branch cutting. As long as the temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, you can easily take root and cut bougainvillea seedlings by yourself by choosing branches with large diameter and healthy branches, and preparing sand or loose and breathable media to keep moisture and shade.
How to water and maintain potted bougainvillea in spring?
Because bougainvillea happens to be winter, it is definitely not allowed to water more in winter, especially in cold places. If the temperature is in a dozen or twenty degrees, or in some places in the south, watering is very casual. Whenever you water it, just water it normally.
But if the temperature is not very high or even low in spring, especially in early spring, you must pay attention to watering at this time, and watering depends on the weather temperature. If it rains for several days, the air humidity is relatively high and the temperature is relatively low, which has been below 10 degrees. Do not water it for the time being, and then water it when the temperature is higher.
It is important that there is a trick to distinguish whether potted bougainvillea needs watering, that is, it depends mainly on the wet and dry conditions of the basin soil, which is very important. Don't wait until the soil in the basin is dry and there is no water at all, which will lead to the bougainvillea completely absorbing less water, leading to defoliation, drought and yellowing.
Although we should keep the soil dry when the temperature is low, we should also look at the soil. If the soil has dried into particles, especially dry, whether it is low temperature or not, we need to water it, not too much at a time. When the temperature rises to 15 degrees, the amount and frequency of watering can be increased.
If bougainvillea is about to bloom and there are no buds, it needs to be controlled. The specific water control method is very simple. For example, once every two days, now once a week, you see that the soil in the basin is a little dry, and then the young leaves are a little dry and weak. At this time, watering again will make bougainvillea suddenly sprout buds full of branches.
After you have buds, you need to supplement them with nutrients, such as organic fertilizer and water, and fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used, such as fermented cakes and water, or boiled soybeans soaked in water, soaked in black humus soil under fallen leaves, and poured into bougainvillea pots with water, which can make them full and bloom a lot. And keep enough light, as long as the sunshine is sufficient and the water is sufficient, and the temperature is reached, it can bloom continuously, and hundreds of flowers will bloom at a time, which is very beautiful.
