Hey Plant Lover, welcome once again, how have you been. Please tell me that you have been waiting for a new video for quite some time. So here I am!! And as we start I want to share that we have been growing at a great pace and I am so thankful to everyone who did watch the videos and supported the channel. Thank you. And if you are new here, please don't forget to subscribe right away. Well now, what are we doing today? Today we will find out what should be added to the soil mix so that the Bougainvillea cuttings not just grow well but also flower within a couple of months. Let me be quite honest here, the results we will witness later on in the video are quite shocking, and I am sure it will change the way you grow your Bougainvillea cuttings or any other cutting for that matter. This video is here to bust some long-standing myths and how we will know shortly. Please make sure you watch the whole video and yes, if you have any planter friends, let us make sure this video also reaches out to them so like and share. I have invested a lot of time and energy in this video so make sure you show some love and support. Without any more delay, let us dive into this interesting video!

And we also have the normal Garden soil as the base in our experiment. Nothing fancy about this soil- just fresh and unused!

Now here is the layout of the process- I will be mixing 1 part of the ingredient and 3 parts of garden soil in a transparent disposable cup- so on and so forth with other ingredients as well. Let us do it

Day 12- They have to be in the shade all this while

Day 18- Let me ask you again, what do you think would happen. Which ingredient will make the cutting flower in the shortest period of time. Pause the video and key in your responses, come on, do it, trust me, it will be fun, and let me see how many of you do get it right.

Let us see what’s going on inside the cup, how are the roots shaping up- are they visible yet or no…..look closely, nothing as far as the desert sand or the ground sand is concerned however river sand and gravel both ingredients have made sure the roots are visible

Time to check on the roots again! The Desert Sand cutting has almost given up. In the rest of the cups, roots are visible, gravel cup is looking better in terms of the overall root structure.

Day 50- This is what you have been waiting for. Let me reveal the blooming process is underway, we will see the formation of bracts. Although not technically part of the bougainvillea flower, specialized leaves called bracts surround the tiny true flowers. Bracts come in many bright colors, making bougainvillea a strikingly colorful garden plant. Three papery-looking bracts surround each group of three tiny flowers. So this is what we will look at right now.

We are at day 55 and one of the cuttings is all flowering- that’s the Gravel cup and Ground sand is close second as buds and bracts are all forming, should flower within a week or so, and the third-place goes to the cup that had River Sand as the assisting ingredient. So the myth around river sand is the best in business is out of the window.

You might ask why those results- well, it has to do with loosened soil simply put a fair amount of breathing space for the roots- given gravels assist in the formation of timely air pockets in the pot. So next time you want your Bougainvillea cuttings to flower within 2 months of propagation, you now know what to do and more importantly how to do it. Other ingredients work great as well except of course the desert sand just that they won't get you flowers so quick.
