How to care of bougainvillea for 100% flowering

Today I shall show how to care of bougainvillea for 100% flowering. Bougainvillea needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day to flower profusely and look its best. This plant also loves the heat. Not enough sun = not enough color.
If you live where in a climate where bougainvillea is borderline zone hardy (see zones below), then planting it against a warm wall or in a corner against the house will help. Remember, this is one plant that loves sun and heat!
This plant is hardy from USDA zones 9b - 11. It doesn’t like to go below 30 degrees F and definitely not for a prolonged period of time. 1 or 2 random nights around freezing will be okay. You can find your USDA hardiness zone here by inputting your zip code. Older, established bougainvilleas can withstand a freeze much better than newly planted ones. Many varieties will lose part or all of their leaves in climates with winters on the cooler end of the spectrum. Some of the foliage from the previous season can remain on the plant and eventually falls off as the new growth appears in spring.
When it comes to watering, bougainvillea is pretty drought tolerant once established. It prefers a good, deep watering every 3-4 weeks rather than frequent shallow waterings.
When establishing (in the 1st couple of years), be sure to give your bougainvillea regular water. It’s subject to a few types of root rots so don’t over-water. The soil should be well-drained which will help prevent rot.
I’ve done a post and video on how to plant bougainvillea where I go into the topic of soil more in-depth there. Another result of too much water - more green growth and fewer flowers. No thank you - flowers please!
I’ve never fertilized bougainvilleas, either when planting or as part of maintenance. I always feed them with compost - a good dose upon planting and a 3″ topping every late winter/early spring every year or 2.
I used to work at a nursery in Berkeley where a grower recommended fertilizing them with a palm and hibiscus food.
This flower food would be another option if you feel yours needs fertilizing to up the ante on the bloom. Be sure to follow the directions on the box - an application once or twice a year will be just fine.
I’ve done a dedicated post and video on planting bougainvillea which includes an important thing to know.
I’ll touch briefly on transplanting and tell you that it’s a crapshoot. Bougainvilleas don’t like to have their roots disturbed. I’ve never transplanted one and don’t recommend it.
You’d be better off just buying a new plant. If you try transplanting yours, just be as careful as possible to not injure those sensitive roots.
Bougainvillea does fine in containers but I’d recommend using 1 of the lowing growing varieties for this. The taller ones need a very large pot to accommodate the large root systems. A good organic potting soil with a good dose of compost mixed in would make this plant happy.
I’ve done a few posts on pruning bougainvilleas which you can find here on our website. I give mine their big pruning in late winter - this sets the tone for how I want them to grow and look throughout the season. I’ll do 2 or 3 lighter ones after each bloom cycle.
If you pinch the tender ends which are about to bloom, the show of color will be denser, & not all at the ends. You can see this in the photo below.
Bougainvillea blooms on new growth. You want to prune and pinch yours to bring on the flowering.
A word of warning: all bougainvilleas that I’ve come across have thorns so use caution when pruning. If you’re not careful, you can come out from a round of pruning looking like you’ve been in the lion cage!
I’m saving the best for last! These flowering machines will bloom year-round in warm climates. In a climate where the winters are cool, they’ll bloom for 9-10 months.
The tiny white centers are actually the flowers and the bracts (the colored leaves) are what give us those big shows of color. Bougainvilleas put out a big explosion of color, drop their bracts and then flower again.
The colors you can find bougainvilleas in are: white to yellow to gold to pink to magenta to reddish-purple. Some have 2-toned colors and variegated foliage too. Something for all; except you lovers of blue. The color of bougainvillea can change after you plant it. This has to do with the breeding. My bougainvilleas, all well established, will change color a bit as the season’s progress.

আপনি শেষে যেটা দেখালেন আমি আগে বুঝিনি বলেই নার্সারি থেকে আমাকে এমন গাছ দিয়েছে বোগেনভেলিয়াটা যা বড় হওয়ার সাথে সাথে একটা শাখা লম্বা হয়ে চলে যাচ্ছে আর ডগায় অল্প ফুল হচ্ছে শুধু ,তাই আপনার গুলো বেশ ভালো তো ঠিক কি প্রজাতির আর কেনার সময় ঠিক কি লক্ষ রাখতে হবে যার অনেক ফুল ও হবে আর অনেক শাখাও হবে এমন বোগেনভেলিয়া কিনতে হলে,যদি বলে দেন ভালো হয়।

[@tryouts_]

প্রথমত, বুষি প্রজাতি গাছ কিনুন।
দ্বিতীয়ত, যে ডাল বড় হচ্ছে হালকা করে কেটে দেন।
তৃতীয়ত, ১৯ ১৯ ১৯ হালকা করে জলে মিশিয়ে দিন
চতুর্থত, সপ্তাহে ২ দিন জল দিন। আর টবের গাছ হলে এই দিক ওই দিক নড়াচড়া করবেন না এক জায়গায় রেখে দেবেন।
যদি এখনও ঠিক ভাবে ফুল না হয় তাহলে গাছের রুট গুলো হালকা করে কেটে ওই মাটিতেই বসিয়ে দিন। তার পর ১৯ ১৯ ১৯ দিন তখন গাছের ডাল কাটবেন না। ❤
৭ দিনের মধ্যে প্রচুর ফুলে ভরে যাবে।🎉
ভালো থাকবেন।
