Product description
:
For a long time in many homes you can meet spectacular flowering plants native to the subtropics and tropics, for example, orchid, fuchsia and jasmine. Bougainvillea growers began to grow quite recently. And in vain they did not pay attention to her for so long, the fact is that in Brazil, where she comes from, and in other countries with a similar subtropical climate, her flowering lasts all year. The tops of its stems are decorated all the time with flowers with thick spectacular bracts having a rich color. In addition, such a plant is unpretentious, it grows on the roadsides, in the middle of stones, weaves multi-meter rocks, and also climbs the walls of high-rise buildings. Only a part of the species and hybrid varieties of the crop are successfully cultivated in indoor conditions.
Bougainvillea is native to Brazil. There its growth and flowering does not stop for a single day, because it does not have a rest period. Such a thermophilic plant is able to withstand a decrease in air temperature to 5 degrees, but if it gets colder, it may die. In some subtropical regions, the crop is grown in open soil all year round. But if there is a threat of lowering the air temperature to critical values, then it must be covered so that it does not suffer from the cold.
In the middle latitudes, such a plant is cultivated exclusively in closed ground. Greenhouses, greenhouses and residential buildings are ideal for its cultivation. The main thing to remember is that Bougainvillea needs a lot of bright light and space. When growing in indoor conditions, as a rule, the culture lacked neither light nor space, and it began to adapt to new growth conditions. As a result, its flowering has not become year-round, and it also has a distinct period of rest. If the plant is properly cared for and provided with growth conditions as close to natural as possible, then it can bloom several times during the year.
Instructions for planting and care:
Illumination
To grow Bougainvillea, you should choose the sunniest place. For this, a window sill of a southern orientation is ideal, in extreme cases, it can be placed on the western window. Remember that during the day the flower should be illuminated by direct rays of the sun for at least 5 hours. By the way, the scorching rays of the midday sun are not terrible for it. Only if he has enough light, his growth and development will be within the normal range, and during the flowering period his perianths will have a bright color. If the lighting is too poor, then because of this, the stems will become elongated, the leaf plates will fade, and the bougainvillea will not bloom.
Temperature
The room where the flower is located should be systematically ventilated, but at the same time be sure to protect the bush from a draft. Do not allow air currents to get on it. In summer, when it is warm outside, if possible, it can be moved to fresh air (on the veranda, in the garden or on an open balcony). In this case, they choose a place for him that has reliable protection from precipitation and wind gusts. In winter, the plant can be moved to a closed loggia, which must be insulated and well lit. Please note that the loggia should not be colder than 10 degrees.
The culture reacts negatively to frequent permutations from one place to another, especially during flowering. Because of this, the plant can suffer greatly, especially if, after the rearrangement, the conditions for growth have changed dramatically for the worse. Because of this, both flowers and foliage can fly off the bush. In this case, it is recommended to return the bush to its usual environment with a suitable temperature and lighting, after a little time, new foliage will begin to grow.
In spring and summer, during the period of intensive plant growth, the temperature in the room should be from 22 to 25 degrees. During the rest period in winter, it is recommended to move the bush to a cooler place (from 12 to 16 degrees). Cool wintering will allow the plant to lay a large number of flower buds, and with the onset of the spring months, the bush will certainly delight you with lush flowering. In the event that Bougainvillea is warm in winter, it should be sure to provide additional lighting, while the required daylight duration is about 12 hours. To do this, a daylight lamp or a phytolamp is installed near the plant. In this case, the bush will not begin a period of rest, and a small number of flowers will bloom on it. However, with a warm winter and in the summer, the bush will bloom very weakly.
Air humidity
Culture needs high humidity in the air. That is why it needs to be regularly and often moistened from a spray bottle. During the flowering period, only the air around the bush is moistened from the sprayer, because it is extremely undesirable for water droplets to get on the surface of the bracts. When the plant does not bloom, it is better to moisten its foliage from both sides, and this will only benefit it.
There are other ways to increase humidity. So, not far from the flower, you can put an open vessel filled with water, and you can also pour moistened pebbles into the tray and put a pot on it. If possible, purchase an electric humidifier and use it. Moisten the foliage, as well as water the bush with exceptionally soft water, which should be well-settled, passed through a filter or boiled.
Watering
Water the plant abundantly during intensive growth, which is observed in the spring and summer period. The soil mixture should always be slightly moist (not damp). Watering is carried out immediately after the top layer of the substrate is half dry. On average, watering is carried out 1-2 times in 7 days. It is necessary to pour water into the pot until it begins to flow out of the holes at its bottom. However, remember that although the flower loves moisture, but in natural conditions it prefers to grow on stony soil, so do not allow stagnation of liquid in the substrate. In this regard, the water that has drained into the pan after watering must be poured out.
With the onset of autumn, watering is gradually reduced so that the bush can prepare for the upcoming rest period. In the period from November to February, it should be watered very sparsely and rarely. However, make sure that the earthen lump in the pot does not dry out completely. On average, at this time, watering is carried out 1 time in 15-20 days. The warmer the room, the more often watering is carried out. If all the foliage has flown off the bush in winter, watering is suspended until the end of the dormant period.
Fertilizer
Thanks to proper and timely fertilizing, Bougainvillea will grow beautifully and bloom luxuriantly. Systematic fertilizing with liquid fertilizers is carried out from the beginning of spring until the second half of autumn. Fertilizers for flowering plants with a high content of potassium, phosphorus and iron are suitable for this, thanks to them, a lot of buds will form on the bush and the flowering will be lush. Do not overfeed the plant with nitrogen, as this has an extremely negative effect on flowering.
Soil mixture
The flower needs a fertile light soil that passes water and air well. To do this, you can use a universal soil mixture for flowering indoor plants, the pH of which should be in the range of 5.5–6.0. If desired, the earthen mixture can be made with your own hands. To do this, you will need to combine coarse-grained river sand, turf and leaf soil, as well as humus (1:2:2:1). In order for the soil mixture to be sufficiently loose, it is recommended to pour a small amount of chalk, vermiculite, wood ash into it, and also to prevent fungal diseases, pieces of charcoal should be added to it. Each of the components must be disinfected to remove the viruses, parasites and infections present in them. To do this, they can be spilled with freshly boiled water or steamed. After disinfection, let the substrate dry.
Blossom
It is thanks to its spectacular and long-lasting flowering that bougainvillea is so loved by flower growers. Flower buds are laid in winter during the dormant period. And in May, flowering begins, and the bush becomes more like a large colorful bouquet consisting of opened inflorescences and spectacular bracts, because of them it is sometimes even impossible to see the leaves. In indoor conditions, with good care, Bougainvillea can bloom for 6-7 months (from May to November). In different varieties, the shape and color of the bracts vary. They can be painted in pink, purple, white, purple or purple. Of particular decorative value are those varieties in which terry bracts are placed in several rows. Small cream-colored flowers do not last long, after opening they fade quickly enough and fly around. Bracts also stay on the branches for a long time, sometimes up to six months or even longer.
To achieve the greatest decorative effect, 2 bushes of different varieties can be planted in one container, for example, with purple and white bracts. As the bougainvilleas grow, their trunks intertwine with each other. When the bushes bloom, the house is decorated with a lush purple-white bouquet.
It is not easy to grow bougainvillea from seeds. The main difficulty lies in obtaining seeds, since there are no insects that pollinate in indoor conditions. In nature, the flowers are pollinated by small hummingbird birds, found only in the subtropics and tropics.
Seed material can also be purchased in a specialized store, but it will take a lot of time and effort to get seedlings from it. Sowing of seeds is carried out from the last days of February to the second half of April. To begin with, a fertile loose soil mixture is prepared, consisting of peat, leafy earth and sand (1:1:1), if desired, you can take a ready-made earth mixture for flower seedlings. Sowing is carried out in a container with a lid. It is recommended to carry out pre-sowing preparation of seeds, for this they are placed in a solution of any biostimulator for several hours. Sowing is carried out in a moistened soil mixture, while the seeds are buried only 0.5 cm, the distance between the seeds should be within 20-30 mm. When the sowing is completed, the container is covered with a lid. To make the seedlings appear faster, they will need heat (about 26 degrees). Bottom heating is also recommended, in this case, make sure that the temperature of the substrate is always equal to 30 degrees. Seedlings will need systematic ventilation and watering as needed, which is carried out with a spray gun, using well-settled warm water for this. The seedlings will also need a large amount of light. Therefore, in the cold season, the mini-greenhouse will need additional lighting, for this purpose a phytolamp or a daylight lamp is installed. The first seedlings may appear after about 8-12 weeks. As soon as this happens, the shelter is removed from the container. If the shoots are thick, then they should be unpicked according to individual cups, but only after they have formed 2 or 3 real leaf plates. When the bushes grow up and get stronger, they are transplanted into small pots, at the bottom of which a drainage layer is made, the soil mixture is used the same as for planting adult specimens. Then the flowers are removed to a permanent place and cared for in the same way as for adult plants.
