There will be so many buds that the leaves behind them will be barely visible.

Bougainvillea is a tropical plant that can turn your apartment into a piece of paradise.

The flower has bright purple buds that will leave few people indifferent. However, in order for the plant to truly reveal its full potential, you need to follow the rules of care.

Bougainvillea migrated to windowsills from hot countries, so it needs a lot of light. To make the plant bloom faster, it should be placed on a southern window.

Special attention is paid to the pot in which the bougainvillea grows. The container should not be too large.

It is best to choose a pot that is only 1-2 cm larger than the root system of the flower. Then the plant will not spend all its energy on growing the underground part. There will be plenty of resources left for setting buds.

Bougainvillea should be replanted only after the roots begin to "crawl" out of the soil. A new pot is selected according to a similar rule - 1-2 cm larger than the root system.
