Plant Care Tips
Plant Care Tips
☀️ Light: Most outdoor plants love bright sunlight — aim for at least 4–6 hours daily. Adjust placement based on plant type (shade-tolerant vs. full-sun).
💧 Water: Water deeply but less often. Early mornings or evenings are best. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🌱 Soil: Use well-draining soil mixed with compost or cocopeat to retain moisture but avoid waterlogging.
🌸 Fertilizer: Feed with organic compost or NPK fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early winter).
✂️ Pruning: Regularly trim dead leaves and spent flowers to promote new growth and keep the plant healthy.
✨ Mitty Tip: Rotate your outdoor plants every few weeks so all sides get equal sunlight — they love a balanced tan too! ☀️😉☀️ Light: Loves full sunlight — give it 5–6 hours daily for vibrant blooms.
💧 Water: Water only when soil feels dry; too much water means fewer flowers.
🌱 Soil: Use well-draining, sandy soil — Bougainvillea hates soggy roots.
🌸 Fertilizer: Feed with a phosphorus-rich mix every 4–6 weeks during growing season.
✂️ Pruning: Trim after blooms to encourage fresh growth and continuous flowering.
✨ Mitty Tip: Let it soak up the sun and stay a little “thirsty” — that’s the secret to a Bougainvillea bursting with color! 🌸
