🌱 Bougainvillea Veera – Care Guide (AlansGarden)

1. Light

• Needs full sun (6–8 hours daily) for heavy blooming.
• More sunlight = brighter colour + more flowers.

2. Watering

• Water moderately; allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings.
• Avoid overwatering — bougainvilleas dislike waterlogged soil.
• During summer, water slightly more frequently.

3. Soil

• Prefers well-draining, light soil.
• Recommended mix for pots:
  40% garden soil + 30% cocopeat + 20% river sand + 10% compost

4. Fertilizer

• Feed once every 3–4 weeks with balanced NPK (19-19-19).
• For flowering season, apply a high-phosphorus fertilizer (13-40-13).
• Add organic compost every 2–3 months.

5. Pruning

• Prune after every flowering cycle to keep the plant bushy and encourage new shoots.
• Remove dry or weak branches regularly.

6. Potting & Repotting

• Use medium or large pots with multiple drainage holes.
• Bougainvillea blooms best when slightly root-bound.
• Repot every 2–3 years only if necessary.

7. Temperature

• Thrives in hot and tropical climates.
• Avoid frost; protect during cold winter nights.

8. Pests

• May get mealybugs, whiteflies, or aphids.
• Spray neem oil every 7 days until cleared.

9. Flowering Tips

• Maximum sunlight = maximum flowering.
• Keep watering slightly reduced before bloom season.
• Avoid too much nitrogen fertilizer (causes leafy growth instead of flowers).
