Bougainvillea is actually a vine shrub, its branches are climbing, and this plant likes warm and sunny environment. In summer, its branches and leaves will grow rapidly. If it is not pruned at ordinary times, its branches will grow wildly, which will make the original good plants deformed very messy, and after growing a lot of water branches, it will consume too much nutrients and it is not easy to bloom.
Bougainvillea can be pruned in summer.
Summer is the peak of bougainvillea growth, so it can be pruned. Many bougainvillea flowers in spring and autumn. If plants grow too many water branches, they will not only consume a lot of nutrients, but also affect normal flowering.
If the bougainvillea cultivated at home is potted, the branches and leaves are messy now, so it can be cut short uniformly to keep the plant in good shape, reduce nutrient consumption and promote the germination of new branches.
Bougainvillea bougainvillea branches and leaves have strong germination ability. More lateral branches will grow soon after pruning. As long as these newly grown lateral branches are well maintained, they can bloom in autumn. Therefore, proper pruning can promote plants to grow more lateral branches and increase the flowering amount of pregnant buds.
Supplement nutrition after pruning
When it is hot in summer, many flowers will go into dormancy. Bougainvillea likes this season, and plants are in the peak season. After pruning for 3 ~ 5 days, as long as the temperature is below 30 degrees, it can be fertilized to supplement nutrition and let it grow more side branches as soon as possible.
The fertilization of bougainvillea is different at different growth stages. Newly trimmed bougainvillea should sprout new buds and grow new branches and leaves again. In fertilization, some multi-element compound fertilizers should be supplemented to make plants grow more luxuriantly. In autumn, plants begin to differentiate into flower buds, so it is necessary to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in stages to improve the flowering quality of plants.
It's easy to grow white when the light is insufficient.
Bougainvillea is a very typical positive flower. Only when placed in a sunny environment can more and more bright flowers bloom. On the contrary, if the environment is deprived of light for a long time, the plants will not see the sun, the branches will grow white, and the branches will grow thin and long, and they will not be able to bloom. This is one of the reasons why some bougainvillea only have leaves that don't bloom.
Keep bougainvillea at home, and you can bask in the sun all year round. This kind of flower is not afraid of the sun, even in summer. The more sunshine there is, the less likely it is for plants to grow in white, and it can also promote the differentiation of flower buds, so that flowers will be more beautiful.
Bougainvillea is a very diligent flower. Some flowers will bloom as usual in summer, while others will grow a lot of branches and leaves. If the branches grow too many and too dense, it will not only affect the plant type, but also consume too much nutrients, which will affect the next flowering of the plant. It is necessary to trim and reshape in time, and then apply fertilizer to supplement nutrition, so that plants can grow more branches, so that they can bloom in large numbers in autumn.
