Bougainvillea ‘Sunrice White’ Variegated is a beautiful variety known for its bright white bracts. Here’s a guide to help you care 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 balcony.

Watering:

Water deeply but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Water more frequently during hot, dry periods and less often during cooler months.

Soil:

Use well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, compost, and perlite or sand works well.
Bougainvilleas prefer slightly acidic soil.

Fertilizing:

Feed your bougainvillea with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
Use a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content to encourage blooming.
Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Pruning:

Prune your bougainvillea after each blooming cycle to encourage new growth and more flowers.
Remove any dead or crossing branches.
You can shape your bougainvillea into a bush, a vine, or even a small tree.

Pests and Diseases:

Bougainvilleas are relatively pest-resistant, but they can be susceptible to aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.
Inspect your plants regularly and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
They can also be prone to fungal diseases like root rot and leaf spots. Ensure proper drainage and air circulation to prevent these problems.

Other Tips:

Bougainvilleas prefer warm climates and are not frost-tolerant. If you live in a colder region, you may need to bring your plant indoors during the winter.
Bougainvilleas can be grown in pots, but they will need a large pot with good drainage.
They can also be trained to climb trellises or fences.

With proper care, your Bougainvillea ‘Sunrice White’ will reward you with beautiful white blooms throughout the growing season.
