Bougainvillea Pest Control

To keep your bougainvillea free from pests, regularly inspect the plants for aphids, thrips, and mealybugs. If you spot any of these pests, consider using organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control their population. Prune away any heavily infested or damaged branches to prevent the spread of pests and disease. Additionally, ensure the bougainvillea receives enough sunlight and is planted in well-draining soil to promote healthy growth and reduce vulnerability to pest attacks. Finally, avoid over-fertilizing the plant as it can attract pests, and instead focus on providing balanced nutrition through slow-release fertilizers.
