Bougainvillea glabra – Care Tips

Bougainvillea glabra is a hardy, fast-growing flowering climber known for its vibrant bracts and excellent adaptability to Indian climates. With proper care, it blooms profusely for most of the year.

Sunlight

• Requires full sunlight (minimum 6–8 hours daily)
• More sun = more flowers

Watering

• Water moderately
• Allow soil to dry slightly between watering
• Avoid overwatering, as it reduces flowering

Soil

• Use well-drained, sandy or loamy soil
• Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot

Pruning

• Prune lightly after flowering
• Helps maintain shape and encourages new blooms
• Remove weak or dead branches regularly

Fertilizer

• Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer
• Apply once every 20–30 days during the growing season
• Excess nitrogen promotes leaves, not flowers
