The bougainvillea I just bought is dropping its flowers and leaves. Can it survive?

When I bought the bougainvillea home, its growth environment changed, and it dropped flowers and leaves. This is a typical manifestation of not adapting to the new environment. As long as the root system is not damaged, there should be no big problem. If you provide the environment that the bougainvillea needs to grow, it will recover and grow normally.

Why is the bougainvillea losing its flowers?

Natural climate factors cause flower drop

① If there is a storm during the flowering period, it will be fatal to the bougainvillea. The rain and wind will blow the bougainvillea to pieces. For this reason, it is recommended to fix the flowering period of bougainvillea in a sunny period and avoid wind and rain.

② Insufficient light can also cause flowers to fall. This is a mistake that many potted plant enthusiasts often make. They place the plants indoors and do not get enough sunlight. The main flowering period of bougainvillea is in winter and spring. If there is insufficient light at this time, it will cause the bougainvillea to grow abnormally and cause flowers to fall.

Flower fall caused by improper human care

①. Improper fertilization, excessive fertilization or incorrect fertilizer selection will cause the roots of Bougainvillea to burn, the entire plant to wilt, the leaves to turn yellow, and the flowers to fall off.

② Improper watering: During the flowering period of Bougainvillea, unless there is a severe drought, there is no need to water it. If there is no special situation, watering will cause the flowers to fall. Therefore, you must grasp it well.

What to do if bougainvillea flowers fall off

The main reason for the bougainvillea to drop its flowers is that it is watered too late and the amount of water is a bit too much. Remember to water earlier than usual during the flowering period and use a moderate amount of water, not too much or too little. The yellowing and falling of leaves during the flowering period is related to the cool weather in autumn, mainly in the northern region.
