How to make a bougainvillea bonsai tree step by step

About 18 different types of plants belong to the bougainvillea genus, all native to South America and all capable of giving us a unique and wonderful show through their blooming.

These climbing shrubs can reach up to 12 meters in height and, depending on the climate, can bloom all year round. In a climate like ours, they bloom from spring until late fall.

Contrary to what it may seem, bougainvillea flowers are small and white, surrounded by bracts that take on different colors and have a paper-like texture.

Bougainvillea needs full sun in order to bloom properly. For this reason, this species should not be treated as an indoor bonsai tree.

Bougainvillea bonsai should be protected from frost and wind. In any case, do not be alarmed if the plant loses its leaves during the cold months-it is part of its life cycle.

Potting soil for bougainvillea bonsai.

Bougainvilleas have a very thin and sensitive root system, and therefore it is essential to use a porous and acidic potting soil

You can choose a solution consisting of akadama and add 30 percent kiryzuna or kanuma.

Watering the bougainvillea bonsai tree

Water when the potting soil begins to dry on the surface. It is important to keep the potting soil moist, but avoid waterlogging.

Remember to use osmosis water, as the presence of dissolved salts in the water could change the pH of the potting soil.

Pinching and pruning bougainvillea bonsai trees

Bougainvilleas are climbing shrubs and therefore have a tendency to form shoots at their apices, which in turn serve to cling to other trees.

To form the bonsai structure pinch more intensely on the acids, be able to distribute the “vigor” to the lower branches. Carry out pinching after flowering.

It is recommended to prune to two buds to strengthen the plant and stimulate the growth of new branches directly from the old trunk.

Wiring the bonsai tree

It is not recommended to over-wire a bougainvillea bonsai, as its branches break easily or may dry out from the wire.

In any case, do it on shoots that are still tender to give direction to their growth.

How To Take Care Of Invading Lady Beetles

There is a rather important difference between ladybugs and Asian ladybugs. Ladybugs are relatively cute and good for the environment because they attack parasites. Asian ladybugs also attack parasites, but they are not as harmless as the average ladybug. They are invasive, they bite, and are very likely to invade your home in swarms.

There are many ways to tell the difference between a ladybug and an Asian ladybug. An Asian ladybug has an “M” shape near its head, while a ladybug does not. Asian ladybugs like to come into your house, while ladybugs prefer to stay outside. Asian ladybugs leave a nasty yellow liquid and bite, while ladybugs do not tend to do either of these things.

Asian ladybugs tend to invade homes when the weather is cooler. They seek refuge in the corners of your home, trying to find a warm place. Fortunately, a Facebook user found a solution to prevent Asian ladybugs from invading his home, and it worked wonders.

Asian ladybugs tend to invade homes when the weather is cooler. They seek refuge in the corners of your home, trying to find a warm place. Fortunately, a Facebook user found a solution to prevent Asian ladybugs from invading his home, and it worked wonders.

Autumn McWhorter shared that to solve the problem, two cups of hot water, four tablespoons of sugar and four drops of detergent should be mixed in a mason’s jar. Leave the mason jar out, and the Asian ladybugs will be attracted to the solution. Once inside the jar, they cannot get out.

So, if you’re tired of watching annoying Asian ladybugs invade your home, try this solution for a quick, cheap and effective hack. Thanks for sharing this great advice, Autumn!
