Bougainvillea is a popular climber that has gained recognition for its lush flowering and attractive color. However, it is not the flowers that are the main attraction of plants, but the flowers that appear from July, stained in white, yellow, orange or pink.In their crown there are inconspicuous proper flowers.
Bougainvillea - watering
Plants should be watered abundantly in summer. However, we only do this when the earth is dry. Roots rot in wet soil.
Fertilizing bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is fed from April to August (2-3 times a month) with high-quality liquid fertilizer for potted plants.
Cutting bougainvillea
When the flowers are dry (the petals look like parchment then), cut the shoots to a length of 20-30 cm.Oversized specimens can be trimmed to the desired size in the fall, before the plants are placed in the winter quarters, or in spring, before the plants start to develop new buds.Bougainvillea are resistant to cutting, very long shoots can be trimmed at any time time of year.Plants can reach a height of 3 m.
Wintering bougainvillea
We put the vines in the bright quarters before the first frosts. Optimal living conditions for bougainvillea are between 10 and 15 ° C.Water moderately so that the substrate never dries out.
Tip
Bougainvillea blooms all year round in heated conservatories with temperatures above 15 ° C.
