If your area is very humid or rainy, increase the amount of sand in the potting soil to ensure sufficient drainage. Bougainvilleas need their potting soil to dry out between watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Irrigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water the bougainvillea well to allow excess water to drain from the base of the pot. This operation will ensure that moisture reaches the roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow the potting soil to dry before watering it again. In principle, you need to water once a week during the warm months and every 2-3 weeks during the fall and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/abuelaenlacocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-125.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17769\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pruning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bougainvillea is a climbing plant that needs support until it reaches a certain height, after which it can grow taller and avoid bending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prune in early spring to keep bougainvilleas \u201ccompact\u201d if planted in pots. This operation will stimulate the formation of new flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bloom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To obtain a more abundant flowering, plant the bougainvillea in a pot that slightly limits the growth of the roots, in full sun, and avoid excessive watering. Bougainvillea blooms best when its roots are firm and attached to the pot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bougainvillea is&nbsp;&nbsp;one&nbsp;&nbsp;of the most loved and appreciated plants, since if properly cared for it can give us a unique spectacle and beautify terraces and balconies for many months of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-and-tricks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions\/52"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/51"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
