Bougainvillea ‘Chilli Red’ – Care

Bougainvillea ‘Chilli Red’ is a beautiful, vibrant variety known for its intense red bracts. Here’s a care guide to help it thrive:

Sunlight:

  • Bougainvilleas love sunlight! They need at least 6 hours of direct sun daily to bloom profusely. Choose a sunny spot in your garden or on your balcony.

Watering:

  • Once established, bougainvilleas are drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • During the first few years, water more regularly to help it establish a strong root system.

Soil:

  • Bougainvilleas prefer well-draining soil. A mix of regular garden soil with some compost or perlite will work well.
  • They like slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Fertilizing:

  • Feed your bougainvillea with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can encourage leaf growth at the expense of flowers.

Pruning:

  • Regular pruning helps maintain the shape of the plant and encourages more blooms.
  • Prune after each blooming cycle to remove spent flowers and control the size. Be careful of the thorns!

Support:

  • Bougainvilleas are climbers, so they need support to grow on. Provide a trellis, fence, or wall for them to climb on.

Pests and Diseases:

  • Bougainvilleas are relatively pest-resistant, but watch out for aphids, caterpillars, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly.
  • They can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered.

Other Tips:

  • Bougainvilleas thrive in warm climates. They are sensitive to frost, so protect them if you live in an area with cold winters.
  • You can grow bougainvilleas in pots, but make sure the pot is large enough and has good drainage.
  • Bougainvilleas bloom on new growth, so don’t be afraid to prune them.

With proper care, your Bougainvillea ‘Chilli Red’ will reward you with a stunning display of vibrant red blooms!
