Bougainvillea 4 Sticks

Plant Care:

Light:

• Full Sun Exposure: Bougainvillea thrives in full sun. Provide at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Ensure the plant receives ample sunlight to promote vibrant blooms.

Watering:

• Well-Draining Soil: Plant Bougainvillea in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged conditions. This is crucial for avoiding root rot, which can be a concern.

• Established Plants: Once established, Bougainvillea is drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water deeply when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry.

• Watering Frequency: During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently. In the fall and winter, when the plant is dormant, reduce watering. Adjust the frequency based on local climate conditions.

• Avoid overwatering: Bougainvillea prefers to be on the drier side, so be cautious about overwatering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation around the roots.

Fertilization:

• Balanced Fertilizer: Feed Bougainvillea with a balanced fertilizer that is relatively high in phosphorus to encourage flowering. Use a slow-release granular fertilizer or a liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
