Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight Requirements
Bougainvillea requires a high level of sun exposure for prolific flowering.
- Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full and direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day for optimal bract production.
- Air Circulation: Ensure good air movement around the plant to maintain health.
Watering and Soil
This plant is known for its tolerance to dry conditions once established, and specific watering practices encourage blooming.
- Soil: Plant in well-draining, moderately fertile soil. The Bougainvillea cannot tolerate waterlogging.
- Watering: Water deeply but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduced watering during the flowering season (once established) often stimulates more blooms.
- Pruning: Prune after a flowering flush to shape the plant and encourage new growth and more blooms.
