Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.
- Planting:
- Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, ideally near a wall or trellis for the espaldera form.
- Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and of equal depth.
- Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
- For espaldera training, gently tie the branches to a support structure, guiding the growth in the desired direction.
- Watering:
- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots.
- Once established, water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering.
- Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-draining.
- Pruning:
- Prune regularly to maintain the shape and encourage more blooms.
- Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
- Trim back any overly long branches to maintain a tidy appearance and promote bushier growth.
- Fertilizing:
- Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
- Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when growth slows.
- Bougainvillea prefers nutrient-poor soil, so avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Bougainvillea is generally resistant to pests, but monitor for aphids, mealybugs, and caterpillars.
- Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur.
- Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid climates.
