Thai Bougainvillea is a popular, vibrant, and hardy ornamental plant, known for its colorful bracts that surround small, inconspicuous flowers.
Light☀️
- Full Sun: Bougainvillea thrives in full sun (at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day). More sunlight results in more vibrant blooms.
Watering💦
- Moderate to Low Watering: Bougainvillea is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Water it thoroughly but allow the soil to dry before watering again.
- Avoid Overwatering: Too much moisture can lead to root rot. Water less frequently in the winter months.
Fertilization
- Balanced Fertilizer: Feed bougainvillea with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). A low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer will encourage more blooms. Over-fertilizing, especially with nitrogen, can lead to lush foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Pruning
- Regular Pruning: Prune bougainvillea after it blooms to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Cutting back any long or leggy branches will help promote more flowering.
- Deadheading: Removing spent flowers can also encourage continuous blooming.
🌿With the right care, bougainvillea can thrive and produce stunning color in your garden for years.
