Description: Sunlight: Bougainvilleas need full sun to bloom profusely. Ensure it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Watering: They prefer slightly dry conditions between watering. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging. Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer regularly during the growing season (spring through fall). A 10-10-10 or similar fertilizer works well. Pruning: Bougainvilleas benefit from regular pruning to maintain shape and encourage flowering. Prune after each blooming cycle to control growth and shape. Support: If growing as a vine, provide support like a trellis or fence. Tie the branches loosely to encourage upward growth. Pests and diseases: Watch for pests like aphids and caterpillars. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Winter care: Bougainvilleas are sensitive to frost. In colder climates, bring potted plants indoors or provide protection during winter. Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial. A sandy or loamy mix with good drainage promotes healthy root growth.
