🌿 Bougainvillea Veera White – Care Guide

1. Light

• Needs full sunlight (6–8 hours daily) for maximum flowering.
• Shade reduces blooming and makes bracts smaller.

2. Watering

• Water only when the top soil feels dry.
• Bougainvillea prefers a slightly dry environment.
• Avoid overwatering—causes root rot and reduces flowering.
• Reduce watering in monsoon.

3. Soil

• Must be planted in well-draining soil.
• Ideal potting mix:
  • 40% garden soil
  • 30% river sand/perlite
  • 30% compost (moderate amounts)
• Slightly acidic soil improves bloom quality.

4. Fertilizer

• Feed every 25–30 days in growing seasons (Feb–Nov).
• Best fertilizers:
  • NPK 10-26-26 or 5-10-10
  • Seaweed extract (foliar spray)
  • Vermicompost in small quantity
• High nitrogen should be avoided—causes excessive leaf growth.

5. Temperature & Climate

• Ideal temperature: 22–36°C
• Thrives in Indian tropical climate
• Sensitive to frost and cold winds

6. Pruning

• Prune after flowering to maintain shape and promote new shoots.
• Cut back weak or dry branches.
• Bougainvillea blooms on new growth, so pruning improves flowering cycles.

7. Support

• Provide a trellis, arch, pergola, or fence for climbing.
• Can be trained into a bush, topiary, or bonsai.

8. Pests & Diseases

• Possible pests: aphids, mealybugs, spider mites.
• Control with neem oil every 10–15 days.
• Avoid waterlogging and ensure good airflow to prevent fungal problems.

🌼 Flowering Tips

• Keep the plant in full sun
• Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Use bloom-boosting fertilizers
• Light pruning encourages fresh blooms
• Bougainvillea flowers more when root-bound, so avoid oversized pots
