Taking care of your bougainvillea is easy and rewarding. These bright, blooming beauties are perfect for landscaping, home decor, or as thoughtful gifts. At Bonita Ranch in Melbourne, Florida, we grow our plants with love, so you can enjoy them effortlessly. Here’s how to keep your new plant thriving:
1. Find a Sunny Spot
Bougainvilleas love the sun! Place your plant where it gets at least 5-6 hours of sunlight daily. They grow well in gardens or pots, making them perfect for patios or balconies.
2. Water Sparingly
Bougainvilleas prefer dry soil over soggy roots. Water thoroughly, but only when the topsoil feels dry. In hotter months, they might need water more often, but in cooler weather, you can ease up.
3. Fertilize for Blooms
A little fertilizer now and then goes a long way! Use one with balanced nutrients to keep your bougainvillea healthy and blooming.
4. Keep It Tidy
Give your plant a trim after it blooms to encourage fresh flowers. If it’s climbing in the wrong direction, a quick prune will guide its growth.
5. Protect from Cold
If temperatures dip, bring your bougainvillea inside or cover it to keep it cozy. In sunny Melbourne, Florida, they thrive year-round with minimal fuss!
That’s it—bougainvilleas are low-maintenance plants that reward you with bursts of vibrant color. Whether you’re adding them to your landscaping or gifting them, they’re sure to brighten any space.
