Leaf-watching flowers shed more leaves and flowers at flowering stage, so they need pruning after flowering. Potted plants are often trimmed into round crowns or tied into other shapes, which requires many branches and dense flowers to form gorgeous crowns.

The ground planting must be equipped with a support to make it climb on the shelf. Always pay attention to pinching new branches to form short and clustered plants. After changing pots, prune some over-dense branches, over-flourishing branches, dead branches and moth-eaten branches to promote more new branches. Bougainvillea should be picked in July and August to control its growth, promote the formation of flower buds and bloom vigorously. 5 ~ 6-year-old plants need to be cut short or pruned again.
