Bougainville multicolour

Bougainvillea is a hardy and beautiful plant that thrives with proper care. Here are some key tips to keep your Bougainvillea healthy and blooming:

*1. Sunlight

Needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering.The more sunlight, the more blooms.

*2. Watering

Water deeply but infrequently—let the soil dry out between waterings.Overwatering can lead to root rot and fewer flowers.

*3. Soil & Potting

Prefers well-draining soil (sandy or loamy).If in a pot, ensure it has drainage holes.

*4. Fertilizing

Use a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.Too much nitrogen will encourage leaves but fewer flowers.

*5. Pruning

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.Remove dead or weak branches.

*6. Support & Training

If growing as a vine, provide a trellis or support for climbing.Can also be trained into a bush or tree shape.

*7. Pest & Disease Control

Generally pest-resistant but may get aphids or caterpillars—use neem oil if needed.Watch for fungal diseases if overwatered.
