Hello. To shorten the branches and correct the shape, pruning is carried out in early spring, before the plant starts to grow. The shape is up to you, the way you want it to look.
MaMaria10 April 2024Hello. First of all, thank you for all the information you provide about plants. I have some questions. I have a wonderful Bougainvillea plant and I want to change its pot but I do not know if it is ok to cut it. Should I cut at least one of the two big shoots? I have attached pictures. I will keep it in the house, and in summer I will take it out on the balcony, which is closed. Can I make it twisted? I mean, bend the two shoots on an arch? Or cut them so they branch out more? What do you advise? Thank you very much!

Hello. It is recommended to prune Bougainvillea in early spring, before the plant starts to grow. Pruning is done according to your preference: you can consider removing the two long twigs entirely (to avoid branching in those areas), reducing the length of the long twigs to one third (to obtain a globular, branched crown); removing the long twig on the left side and keeping the one on the right (possibly reducing its length to one third); keeping the two long twigs and placing them on various supporting objects (arch, trellis, spikes), etc. Also, to stimulate the branching of the (short) twigs in the center of the crown, you can consider shortening them to a third. It is important that the cuts are done with a well sharpened and disinfected tool (e.g. Floristic Pruner).
As for transplanting, it is recommended to perform this operation only when necessary, in spring, after pruning (if needed). It is important to choose a pot of a suitable size, not too large, with water drainage holes. It is also important to choose a suitable substrate, such as Green Plants Professional Substrate, 10 litres. Later, after transplanting, it is recommended to use a natural fertilizer such as AMN BonaVita, 500 ml – this helps to improve the quality of the substrate, supports the development of the roots and increases the plants’ resistance to stress factors (3-4 root treatments at 10-14 day intervals are recommended). It is vital to follow the general conditions recommended for this operation: Indoor plants - Repotting.
Additionally, to stimulate a vigorous growth, it is recommended to regularly use a foliar fertilizer such as Organic Spray for Indoor Plants Zimmerpflanzen, 500ml. More information about the care of this species can be found in our article: Bougainvillea, plant care and growing guide.-
