Thank you so much. My bougainvillea was not flowering at all. I tried your method of pruning, adding vinegar and within 4 days there are so many little blooms on the plant.
I have just done as per your advice ,today is my 8th day with huge watering ,will let you know for the result. The only thing I can not rule is the sun ,hope to have plenty of it next days. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Please make a video on resting phase of bougainvillea's, i mean once they have done with the flowering then after that how long we have to wait or let them rest for next bloom.
In Indonesia, bougenville will bloom at the end of rainy season. And it need lower temperature for blooming flower. But, yes i have done this trick for making blooming at all season!
The truth is bougainvileas will bloom profusely during the dry months in Indonesia, when the skies are less cloudy and the sun shines almost everyday... Klo musim hujan malah gak mau berbunga tong
@@MrStraightlover oogh aku salah mengartikan ya? Bukannya dia bilang... di akhir musim penghujan..? Karna bougenvilku biasanya mulai berbunga kembali... pas masa akhir musim penghujan lanjut sepanjang musim panas... cmiiw...
Bougainvillea bloom when they have good drainage ,full sun, and a lean "diet". IOW , low nitrogen,, gritty dirt. Rich fertile soil will result in lush foliage, and no blooms. My mom’s huge bougainvillea stopped blooming after she hired a lawn service that included monthly feedings of fertilizers high in nitrogen. (The bougainvillea was in the ground next to the well -fed grass..) My bougainvillea is growing in sandy soil., and mulched with gravel. Bone meal may also encourage blooms
This is not a good way. It’s putting unnecessary stress on the plants. Even after watering and the flowering, the plants look bare with thin long branches and overall look weak. The better way is to trim them twice a year to grow new branches and get the plant fuller and water them daily or 3 times a week depending on the temperature and how fast the soil dries. I make sure the soil gets dry between watering. With this method even if it rains heavily the plants flowering rate will not be effected. I have 38 Bougainvilleas around my house and they are full, dense and covered entirely with flowers all year round.
I've been reading every where that for Bougainvillea to flower it sholud starve without fertilizer or water but never understand the process or for how long it should starve.. Excelent video thank you very much👍🏻
I have been having the same problem! I got a beautiful potted one and forgot to water it for a few days and the leaves shriveled up so fast! I thought is was my fault. I have been looking for the best way to revive it. I pruned it and cut off all the dead branches and dried leaves so i'm hoping it will come back. My first day not watering it will be today. Have you had any luck?
@@andiebear17 yes, the green leaves took only a week to grow and another week to be bushy, but no colored leaves or flowers because it's indoors now and only get little direct sun exposure because of the high temperatures in my area - over 50° - i'll wait till the end of September then i'll move it oudoors, i only water it when the top 2 inches of the pot is dry so evey 3 to 4 days this seems good for it, it look like a little bonsai now👍🏼
Thank you for this video. My bougainvilleas have been getting spoiled all these days. Enough is enough, they always look at me with sad eyes every 3 days asking me for water. But I just found out their trick that they didn't want me to know. I won't water them for 7 days.. I need to see them bloom once in for all. :)
@@doasyoulike4080 no green leaves when NPK is given at the right time, when all the leaves has been mature, all the twigs have hardened, no young leaves, no soft twigs
Thanq u so much for this video as it consists a very important info... for all the gardeners especially one like me who has around 8 to 10 bougainvilleas which r hardly blooming. Shall try this trick, but can pruning b done before doing the same?
Yes pruning can be done....prune off the tips of each branch...it will promote new branches to come up...and bougainvillea flowers come up on new branches...you can watch my video on bougainvillea pruning for more details
No wayy😂😂 im panicking when i saw my plants wilted..i dont need to starve them ..theres more option ..by removing 40 percent of the leaves and fertilize them once a month
As soon as the plant starts flowering, water regularly...this will make the flowers last longer..if you miss watering you will see the flowers falling down...don't do anything else...no fertiliser, no pruning, no special treatment...just regular watering..after 2-3 weeks when flowering is eventually over...again gradually decrease the watering and prune off all the twigs which carried the flowers
When you make them to starve for sometimes, then surely they get frustrations, pains and sufferings. So they start admitting their faults and mistakes, later starts blooming after cared well. Punishments works for plants like bougainvillea but they don't work for humans.
I’ve been wondering what is mustard cake. I’ve seen it used on so many videos from india but we don’t have anything called mustard cake in Singapore. Is there any other name for it that I can use to search for on lazada? Thanks.
Mustard oil is extracted from mustard seeds and the what remains after that is actually mustard cake...it is either dried and compressed to make cakes or sold in powder form...In India it is commonly available in nurseries and even in local oil mills...sorry but I don't have any other name for this!
I don’t know, “forcing” a plant to flower by “starving” it sounds very cruel to me. Only after watching the video it doesn’t seem to be that bad. Plants must be treated with the same respect and love we give other living creatures.
One week without water is not such a big deal for bougainvilleas...there are many such plants like cactus, snake plants,adenium, palms and others which thrive on drier soil.It is just that different plants have different needs.
Wow 😍❤ I will definitely try....thanks for sharing.some people are selfish...if u ask them what to do so thaat they will have a flowers...they dont wznt to tell the truth. Thanks a lot for sharing this info. God bless u!
please don't apply this method on very young plants. Plant should be atleast 1 year old before you try this otherwise the plant may die. When the plant is young, give it some time to grow...water it regularly...give some nitrogen rich fertilizer like mustard cake or NPK...let it become strong...then apply this method
Thanks for sharing the Secrets of blooming Bouganvillia I have planted the small stem of Bouganvillia in the pot they have started with new n fresh leaf , Please share some tips for growing good quality of Bouganvillia
In the early growing stage you may apply diluted mustard cake solution once a week... it will make the plant strong. Plenty of green leaves will come out...but don't expect much flowering at this stage....let the plant grow for 5-6 months....
yes you may...as pruning will promote new leaves to come up which will bear fresh flowers....you may watch my video on pruning bougainvilleas for more details
@@doasyoulike4080 Thank you so much! I already did everything until step (Day 8th) I watered the buganville, But This week the weather does not look well, I lot of rain :( Can you please send me the link of your video pruning ? I couldn't find it. thanks
Honestly I don't know the name of the varieties....all of my plants are of single colour type....in the mahara type the flowers are smaller and bunched closely to form a bundle....some are bonsai variety which donot grow tall...they cost more...a small plant may cost upto Rs. 500....whatever plant I own, have not costed me above Rs.100...there are may be 50-60 varieties of exotic varieties available....the nursery people are the best to guide...you may trust them.
Hello, I really love bougainvilleas! Thanks for this! Question though, how often in a year can we do this method without harming the plants? Also what months of the year is this possible? Would you know if the sane effect can be achieved using fertilizer? I'm aware about using urine mixed with water. Any info would greatly help, thanks!
it depends on the climate of the place...for example i live in Kolkata in India which is very hot and humid throughout the year. In winter temp hardly drops below 10 degree C. So Bougainvilleas flower most during the winter months between November to March when it is sunny and moderately cold. During the summer months from April to June also it flowers but due occasional thunder storms the flowering cycle is disturbed. From July to almost mid October is the monsoon time when flowering totally stops. More than fertilizer what is necessary is proper watering(avoid over watering), bright sunlight and pruning( do watch my new video on pruning)... along with this potassium rich fertilizer will boost flowering...but without sunlight, pruning and correct watering don't expect much of flowering. About urine I am not sure.
Thank you oh so much for taking time to reply! I live in the Philippines and the weather's pretty much the same all year. Right now it's summer and bougainvilleas are really showing off! My dad used to mass produce and sell bougainvilleas when i was a kid but he passed away many years back, and it was only a few years ago that I started getting interested in propagating bougainvilleas, so unfortunately i wasn't able to learn what i need to know about bougainvilleas from Dad. Also, it's hard to come by videos about bougainvillea propagation in tropical settings. So thank you so much for your input! We still have several potted bougainvilleas that were planted by my dad and I am trying to save the others and bring back the vibrance of the rest. Thank you once again for sharing what you know. You are a blessing! ♥️
this method is applicable only for bougainvilleas and not for other flowering plants...in fact bougainvilleas like to be stressed...every plant has different needs
Gautam Aggarwal I agree more watering will encourage leafy growth but letting the plant dry out this much as in the video is not required. It look too much in stress.
Apart from the monsoon months, this trick can be applied throughout the year, whenever the sky is clear and there is bright sunlight...for people in Kolkata, October end to June is he blooming time for Bougainvilleas
after the leaves dry out...before starting the watering...you may apply fertilizer...avoid fertilizer when the plant is already flowering and during the monsoons
@@marcnaidu5804 Bougainvilleas like hot,dry climate...full sun and less water...monsoon as such is a period of dormancy for them...they are already stressed because of the cloudy skies and too much of watering...applying fertilizer is like asking them...donot rest...work even hard and give me more flowers.....since sunlight li less, phosynthesis is reduced and the plant cannot process the extra nutiernts you are providing it....you will see that the leaves are turning yellow and more sensitive plants say roses for example die that way in monsoons...when flowering is coming to an end..it needs some time to recuperate...immediately again fertilizing it is like you get home from work and someone gives you plenty of food and asks you to immediately go and work again...too much of food is also not good right?...plants are living being like us...they too need to rest.
good to know that but in mine case, in our part the country I have seen whenever i water them more the flowers start decreasing, lush green foliage starts increasing....may be there are other factors at play also...like climate, soil type, etc
@@doasyoulike4080 i always let it dry out between watering. But here its very hot and humid. I'm sure there are lots of different factors. You have beautiful plants by the way!
Depends on the weather....if it is cloudy...you may skip watering for a day...but if it is hot and sunny and there are buds on your plant...you need to water regularly for the buds to mature into blooms...less watering at this stage may result into the buds falling off
Joel Molina yes of course but it gave the impression that you need to deprive it of "food" instead of water that's all But I do appreciate the video contents
No this will not work for jasmine....for jasmine use epsom salt solution once a week along with DAP+potash once a month....don't let the plant dry as it may die
Does anyone know where you can find seeds in fushia or very pink one? Maybe they are both just the color . not sure. Cant find them easely. Most start those by cutting them from the tree.
Plzz reply zaroor. Me nay bougainvillea ki cutting lagai. Small branches nikalny k baad un k leaves black ho kr dry ho rahy hen. me ny cuttings ko pot me laga kr poly bag se bhi cover kiya hua hai. Ess tarah kiu ho raha hai??
I will be honest to you...I have never succeeded in propagating bougainvillea from cuttings...there are a number of videos on youtube about this...I have gone through them....tried those techniques a number of times...but failed....the cuttings when dipped in water do produce roots after 3-4 weeks...but once I take them out and plant them in pots they die....but nursery se kharida hua ek bhi bougainvillea mera aj tak nahi mara he....ekbar roots nikal ke poydha lag jay to bougainvillea asani se nahi marta..par cuttings se naya plant grow karna mujhe nahi aata he...so sorry for that.
@PRandC Team less than 1yr old plant may be considered young as you will notice that the main stem is more greenish and fleshy rather than hard and woody stem of a mature plant
sort of I guess....when watering is stopped...the plant starts to shed leaf and feels like it is going to die. then suddenly when it is watered heavily it feels that it is its last chance to survive..and starts flowering in order to propagate
@@backdraft57 then simply try to appreciate and respect someone's effort and be a constractive critict.. Who knows, the uploader of this video is a first timer..
Get a green cutling about 5 to 7 inches long. Get some growth hormone. I use Garden Safe Take Root Hormone Rooting. The best way I found is to use a large empty coke bottle rinse out. Cut the bottle almost in half. Put holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill 1/4 with dirt. Dip your cutting end into the hormone growth powder and with a pencil make a hole in the center. Just make sure your cutting doesnt touch the sides or the top of the bottle. Make sure the dirt is completely wet before planting of course. Put the bottle in a warm place. It acts as a terrarium and water's itself. All bugs stay away and it stays at a good temp. You can do hibiscus the same way. When cutting your new piece. Pls cut with shears or scissors that has been cleaned with bleach and water. You don't want your plant to get bacteria or fungus.
Wow!!! U r d only one who is answering all d qs so patiently and with such detail. Really appreciate ur effort. Others should learn from u.

The first water after 7 days of drought treatment should have been mixed with NPK fertilizer, so that the upcoming flowers is more abundant
no NPK..Nitrogen will again bring back green leaves...Potash along with super phosphate or DAP may be used
@@doasyoulike4080 no green leaves when NPK is given at the right time, when all the leaves has been mature, all the twigs have hardened, no young leaves, no soft twigs
它們應該會更美，只是主人沒有常修剪老枝枯枝老葉，也可以加減修成自己創造的美麗圖騰。修剪不是傷害花，是讓花開的看美更有型。不過看你救了你的花也算不錯了，很棒了。養花就是要了解花的喜好。加油！

like that. Can I take the risk?
sure!
But mine have not blooming its leaves come out only flowering not growing
Tot this video was to tell me how to get my bougainvillea to bloom !
Light trim and low nitrogen fertilizer is all you need. I guess when you have 5 acres of bougainvillea, this method doesn't come into play.
Patrick Kingsbury could u pls advise of the exact fertilizer ? The fertilizers with the lower first number is always for growing vege and fruits ?!
In which month we should stop watering the plants?
Apart from the monsoon months, this trick can be applied throughout the year, whenever the sky is clear and there is bright sunlight...for people in Kolkata, October end to June is he blooming time for Bougainvilleas

Joel Molina yes of course but it gave the impression that you need to deprive it of "food" instead of water that's all
But I do appreciate the video contents
Joel Molina isn't not ain't 😀
DO AS YOU LIKE thank you
what about jasmin? dose this method works for it too?
No this will not work for jasmine....for jasmine use epsom salt solution once a week along with DAP+potash once a month....don't let the plant dry as it may die
@@doasyoulike4080 thank u
Which month is the best for bougainvilla cutting?
Does anyone know where you can find seeds in fushia or very pink one? Maybe they are both just the color . not sure. Cant find them easely. Most start those by cutting them from the tree.
Emmanouil Achladiotis here. I have the fuschia . And orange pink combination
Wow very beautiful idea
I have mine in a big pot with full sun and it is gorgeous...
Gull of flowers without any care or fuss.
Superb👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
Plzz reply zaroor. Me nay bougainvillea ki cutting lagai. Small branches nikalny k baad un k leaves black ho kr dry ho rahy hen. me ny cuttings ko pot me laga kr poly bag se bhi cover kiya hua hai. Ess tarah kiu ho raha hai??
I will be honest to you...I have never succeeded in propagating bougainvillea from cuttings...there are a number of videos on youtube about this...I have gone through them....tried those techniques a number of times...but failed....the cuttings when dipped in water do produce roots after 3-4 weeks...but once I take them out and plant them in pots they die....but nursery se kharida hua ek bhi bougainvillea mera aj tak nahi mara he....ekbar roots nikal ke poydha lag jay to bougainvillea asani se nahi marta..par cuttings se naya plant grow karna mujhe nahi aata he...so sorry for that.
@@doasyoulike4080 Don't worry Sir. Mjhy Janoon ki had tak cutting lagany ka shoq hy aur har baar fail ho jata hn aur ho raha hn.
Can i do this when the bogainvillia is planted on the ground?
yes you can
I have a new plant that hasn't flowered yet. Will this work?
If it is a samll plant then give it some time to grow before applying this method..too young a plant may not cope up with the stress
@PRandC Team less than 1yr old plant may be considered young as you will notice that the main stem is more greenish and fleshy rather than hard and woody stem of a mature plant
Thanks for showing!
Definitely have to try,thanks
Thanks for the brilliant idea .Hard pruning ke bad kab kare.🙏
pruning ka ek alag video coming soon
Your flowers are fading out. Add iron to their soil.
anas rais what iron ? Any suggestions ?
No need for iron. Just water with rainwater...
I have done this but leaves are very slow to come forget buds
Have you tried this recently?...now monsoons are on in India...This method will not work during cloudy skies
@@doasyoulike4080 SO what should i do now?

Cant stand to see myplant drying n dying without water..hahaha..i prefer trim it n fertilizer..same result
Exactly my point
Which fertilizer do you use?
Sodeli Horn here’s all the detailed information. ua-cam.com/video/cvka2CuwL_Q/v-deo.html
Is it a punishment
sort of I guess....when watering is stopped...the plant starts to shed leaf and feels like it is going to die. then suddenly when it is watered heavily it feels that it is its last chance to survive..and starts flowering in order to propagate
Aparna Ghosh I guess so. IT is like Gelli ng them to give flowers or I Will kill you! Lol
Telling not Gelli ng....sorry its the autocorrect
So beautiful. Yet Ohio climate is not conducive to this lovely plant
that's true... too much of cold is not suitable for bougainvilleas
dont you prune themduring this process?
pruning in the sense just removing the twigs carrying the spent off flowers
Just put it in a bigger pot, it will flower without you torturing it.
Nah just put some urine
100% bloom for that or put some bone meal that's all ,my bougainvillea is 20years old still small pot but full bloom always ?
pppffff
Brilliant idea, thank you for sharing 👌
Thanks for the advice. One plant has flowers but another one doesnt.i hv 2.shall do this trick.no sign of rain or clouds
Thanq once again
Nice
A one and a half minute video stretched to over seven minutes with never ending repeating irritating music.
watchif So why are you complaining? Why don't you make your own video?
@@karencalacal8048 not complaining Karen, an observation of the obvious

It is constructive

How do I make a starter from cuttings
Get a green cutling about 5 to 7 inches long. Get some growth hormone. I use Garden Safe Take Root Hormone Rooting. The best way I found is to use a large empty coke bottle rinse out. Cut the bottle almost in half.
Put holes in the bottom for drainage. Fill 1/4 with dirt.
Dip your cutting end into the hormone growth powder and with a pencil make a hole in the center. Just make sure your cutting doesnt touch the sides or the top of the bottle. Make sure the dirt is completely wet before planting of course.
Put the bottle in a warm place. It acts as a terrarium and water's itself. All bugs stay away and it stays at a good temp.
You can do hibiscus the same way.
When cutting your new piece. Pls cut with shears or scissors that has been cleaned with bleach and water. You don't want your plant to get bacteria or fungus.
Hey Backdraft 57 , if it irritates you, just turn it off. No one is holding you to keep on watching! 👎👎👎
Beautiful!
Wow can someone in the comments give us an update?
excellent video. thanks for sharing this and efforts
Very good
