Plant Care Instructions
Bougainvillea Cherry Blossom thrives in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sun each day to encourage abundant flowering. It prefers well-drained, sandy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water the plant moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering can lead to issues such as yellowing leaves and poor growth, so ensure that the soil is not waterlogged. During the growing season, apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Pruning is essential to maintain the plant’s shape and encourage new growth, so trim any dead or leggy branches after the blooming season.
Common Problems and Solutions
- Pest Infestation (Aphids, Mealybugs): Aphids and mealybugs can infest Bougainvillea Cherry Blossom. Use neem oil or an insecticidal soap to treat the plant and control pests.
- Yellowing Leaves: Yellowing leaves are often caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the soil drains well and reduce watering frequency.
- Poor Flowering: Insufficient sunlight or over-fertilization can hinder blooming. Ensure the plant receives enough sunlight and avoid using too much nitrogen-rich fertilizer, as it can encourage leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
- Leaf Drop: Stress from temperature changes, overwatering, or transplanting can cause leaf drop. Keep the plant in a stable environment and avoid frequent relocation or excessive watering.
