There are many basic fertilizers that can be used on the bougainvillea, such as manure from livestock, self-made fertilizer made from rice washing water and fruit skin retting, and compound slow-release fertilizer. When it blooms, it should apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every 15 days or so to help it bloom. However, if the breeding is a variety with short flowering time, it is better not to apply fertilizer when flowering, so as to avoid shortening the flowering period.

I. what kind of fertilizer is on the base fertilizer?

If the fertility of the flower soil is very high, it is not necessary to apply base fertilizer. But if its flower soil fertility is average, it's better to add some base fertilizer to its flower soil before putting it into the basin. This can significantly improve the fertility of flower soil, so that it can provide more nutrients for plant growth and flowering.

There are many choices of base fertilizer, such as compound slow-release fertilizer, manure and soil fertilizer for livestock, and even self-made fertilizer made by self retting with rice washing water and peel.

Flower fertilizer to choose a high content of phosphorus and potassium, usually every 15 days or so can be applied.
