Many people will follow the trend and buy it from the flower market, but they will find that they do not know how to maintain, and today I will share with you how to grow Brazilian bougainvillea.
For those friends who have purchased this flower at home, first observe whether the soil you choose can meet its growth needs, generally speaking, the soil humus content required by brazilian bougainvillea is relatively high.
And it is best to use garden soil and river sand for mixed configuration, the pot choice of light color is more beautiful, and if it is a Brazilian bougainvillea that has been planted for several years, and the potting soil has never been replaced, then you must act immediately.
Many people in the planting of Brazilian bougainvillea, there will be no way to flower or the leaves are falling together, first of all, we must pay attention to this plant is very light-loving, so be sure to put it in a sunny place.
If it is too hidden or has been placed in the indoor living room to plant, there is no way to receive light, then it will have these problems, so we usually when planting Brazilian bougainvillea, if you consider using potted plants, it is best to let it shine more than 6 hours of light during the day, even in winter, as long as there is a bright place.
In addition, the temperature should be reasonably controlled, it is very fond of warmth, so the temperature is most suitable to maintain at about twenty-five degrees Celsius, although its own cold resistance has been very superior, but it is not wise to let it grow at low temperatures for a long time.
When the temperature is below zero, people will feel very cold, let alone plants? Therefore, in order not to let it have frostbite problems, it is best to move indoors or give some cold and warmth measures when planting outdoors.
Watering is actually very exquisite for planting Brazilian bougainvillea, because its water demand is relatively large, after all, it is often necessary to bask in the sun, but at the same time pay attention to prevent the problem of water accumulation in the soil, although it grows better in a warm environment.
However, if the soil has accumulated water, it will hurt its roots, so instead of frequent watering, it is better to spray some water mist around it, which can not only help the plant cool down, but also achieve the effect of increasing air humidity.
And when watering, you must avoid the time when the temperature difference is the largest, such as noon in the summer or the evening in the winter, because its temperature difference at this time will cause some irritation to the plant, resulting in leaf atrophy or even fall.
The flowering volume of brazilian bougainvillea is very large, so its growth is also very dependent on fertilizer, which should be used every 15 days, especially in the growth cycle, which can increase the frequency of some watering, and once every 10 days is no problem.
Cake fertilizer water is very suitable for it, before the arrival of the flowering period can be added 1 to 2 times of phosphate fertilizer, when the weather becomes cold, you can slowly reduce the use of fertilizer.
This plant is actually very sensitive to urea, if you find that the amount of flowers grown in Brazilian bougainvillea is very small, you may wish to use some of these elements when fertilizing, so that its flowering performance is better stimulated.
There are many people who like the Brazilian bougainvillea, but there are very few people who really understand it, so if you want to make it reach the most perfect flowering state, you must learn more planting techniques. It's the best time to plant, so let's get your favorite friends on the move!
