Bougainvillea Plant Winter Care Tips: Easy Steps to Keep It Alive and Thriving!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve got this bougainvillea plant, right? It’s beautiful when it blooms, all those bright colors. But winter’s coming, and I’m like, “How do I keep this thing alive?” I did some digging and found some useful tips, figured I’d share my experience here with all of you.

Keeping Bougainvillea Alive in Winter

First off, these plants, they’re tropical. They love the heat. So, the first thing I did was bring my bougainvillea indoors. I made sure it was in a spot where the temperature stays above 60°F, which is about 15°C. I avoided placing it near any windows or doors where there might be cold drafts. I also kept it away from the heater, as I heard that can stress it out.

Bougainvillea Plant Winter Care Tips: Easy Steps to Keep It Alive and Thriving!

One thing I learned is that bougainvillea loves humidity. In winter, the air gets so dry, so I started misting the leaves regularly. I also set up a small humidifier nearby. Another trick I tried was placing a tray of water close to the plant. You could try to water your bougainvillea before cold snaps, I didn’t try it but I think it’s useful.

Now, about watering. I found out that bougainvillea actually blooms better when it’s a bit stressed. So, I kept the soil on the slightly dry side. I made sure to water it thoroughly, but only when the soil felt dry to the touch. They told me that bougainvillea like to be root-bound, so I didn’t repot it. When they’re in containers, you gotta water them more often. The soil should feel moist, but not soggy, you know?

Here’s a little summary of what I did:

  • Brought it indoors: Made sure it was in a warm spot, above 60°F (15°C).
  • Increased humidity: Misted the leaves, used a humidifier, and placed a water tray nearby.
  • Watered carefully: Let the soil dry out a bit between waterings, but watered thoroughly when I did.

So, that’s my experience with keeping my bougainvillea happy during the winter. It’s not too hard, just gotta pay attention to what it needs. Hope this helps anyone else trying to keep their bougainvillea thriving through the cold months! I’m not an expert, just sharing what worked for me. Good luck with your plants, folks!
