Instructions for Cutting Water, Pruning Bougainvillea Tops for Tet Flowers November 15 to 18 of the lunar calendar #Bougainvillea #tree #plants 1. Pruning Branches and Leaves Pruning time: The best time to prune bougainvillea is about 2-3 months before Tet, that is, around October-November of the lunar calendar. Pruning early helps the tree have time to sprout new buds and stimulate the tree to bloom on Tet. Pruning technique: Use sharp scissors to cut off weak, old branches, and unnecessary leaves. Focus on removing branches that are not in the desired shape so that the tree is airy and the main branches are focused on nutrition. Adjusting the tree shape: For bougainvillea trees grown for decoration, you can bend the branches in a bonsai style or let the leaves spread out evenly, creating a beautiful shape for Tet. 2. Fertilize Properly Choose fertilizer: Bougainvillea prefers organic fertilizer, decomposed manure or NPK fertilizer with high potassium content to enhance the flowering process. You should avoid using too much nitrogen fertilizer, because nitrogen will make the plant grow leaves but less flowers. How to fertilize: Fertilize periodically every 2 weeks after pruning. Dissolve fertilizer in water and water the base of the plant or spread a thin layer around the base. Note that you should not fertilize too close to the base to avoid shocking the plant. Stop fertilizing: About 2 weeks before Tet, stop fertilizing completely so that the plant can concentrate nutrients for the flowering process. 3. Cut off water to stimulate flowering When to cut off water: After pruning and fertilizing, you should cut off water to help the bougainvillea flower better. The time to cut off water should be about 1 month before Tet. Method of cutting off water: Stop watering the plant for about 7-10 days until the leaves are slightly wilted. At this time, the plant will have a natural reflex to flower. After that, you can water again slowly, watering a little each time so that the plant does not get shocked. Maintain watering: When you see flower buds starting to appear, maintain regular watering again but with less water than before, helping the plant to keep the flowers longer and bloom evenly during Tet. Notes When Caring for Bougainvillea Place the bougainvillea in a place with direct sunlight, avoid leaving the plant in the shade because this will reduce the ability to bloom. Monitor the status of pests and diseases and cut off diseased leaves and branches to keep the plant healthy. Avoid letting the bougainvillea get waterlogged because it can easily cause root rot and affect the flowering process. With the correct steps of pruning, fertilizing, and watering, you will have pots of bougainvillea blooming, with brilliant colors to welcome Tet. Wish you success in caring for and decorating bougainvillea for Tet! #Bougainvillea Care #PruningBougainvillea #Fertilizing #Watering
