Bougainvillea ‘Oppel Orange’ is a beautiful variety known for its vibrant, multi-toned salmon-orange bracts. Here’s a guide to caring for it:
Light:
- Bougainvilleas thrive in full sun. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to bloom profusely. Choose a sunny spot in your garden or on your patio.
Soil:
- Well-draining soil is essential. Bougainvilleas are susceptible to root rot if the soil is constantly wet. A sandy or loamy soil is ideal.
- The soil pH should be slightly acidic to neutral (between 5.5 and 6.0).
Watering:
- Once established, bougainvilleas are drought-tolerant. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, then allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering again.
- Avoid overwatering, especially during the winter months when the plant’s growth slows down.
Fertilizing:
- Feed your bougainvillea with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (like 10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- You can also use a fertilizer specifically formulated for bougainvilleas.
- Avoid fertilizing during the winter.
Pruning:
- Prune your bougainvillea after it finishes blooming, usually in late winter or early spring.
- Remove dead or crossing branches and trim back the tips to encourage new growth and more flowers.
- You can also prune lightly throughout the growing season to maintain the shape of the plant.
Support:
- If you’re growing your bougainvillea as a vine, provide a support structure like a trellis or fence for it to climb on.
- You can also train it to grow as a shrub by pruning it regularly.
Pest and Disease Control:
- Bougainvilleas are relatively pest-free, but watch out for aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects.
- Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Root rot can be a problem if the soil is not well-draining.
Other Tips:
- Bougainvilleas are not frost-tolerant. If you live in an area with cold winters, you’ll need to protect your plant from frost. You can move it indoors or cover it with frost cloth.
- Bougainvilleas bloom on new growth, so regular pruning is essential to encourage flowering.
- Avoid moving your bougainvillea once it has started to bloom, as this can cause it to drop its flowers.
