Bougainvillea plants prefer at least 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness to flower. Ensure there's no artificial light at night.

Bougainvilleas love heat and dry conditions, as they are native to Brazil. They bloom better when watered only once a week.

3. Direct Sunlight

A must for bougainvilleas, direct sunlight for at least six hours is crucial to get more blooms.

4. Less Fertilizer

Using too much fertilizer can cause your bougainvillea to grow lush green foliage in place of flowers.

If you want more blooms, you must plant your bougainvillea plant in well-draining soil.
