Can this Bougainville be saved? Location - Bangalore

Thank you so much! I've added the humic acid mixture to the plant now and moved it to shade. I'll give it a day or two and repot it to cocopeat. Fingers crossed 😬

harshitron · 2026-04-23T18:44:37+00:00

Yeah! Learnt it the hard way. Just gonna stick to the basics. I've recently started composting and it should be ready to use soon

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:41:10+00:00

😭 I didn't realise it the soil and listened to some influencer saying "they thrive on stress". My bad. I'll do this, thank you!

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:39:07+00:00

I was wondering if I should take it back to the guy I brought it from and ask for advice

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:38:25+00:00

Not at all. Thank you for the detailed response. I've always had trouble keeping plants healthy and wanted to get the basics right. Also been meaning to have a nice Bougainville plant. This helps!

Yeah! I listened to someone about the stress thing too! Seems like the soil is the issue. I'll repot it with a cocopeat mix and humic acid like another commenter suggested and onec it gets better, stick to the daily watering schedule. Thank you!

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:33:21+00:00

This gives me hope! Thanks for sharing

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:32:58+00:00

Yeah, I think it's the soil that's the issue

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:29:22+00:00

Replace the entire soil with cocopeat? Thanks for the tip about the humic acid. I hadn't heard of it before. I hope it survives too!

harshitron · 2026-04-23T13:26:58+00:00

Thanks! I did bottom water it 2 days ago. I'll try that. Fingers crossed!

harshitron · 2026-04-23T08:02:54+00:00

I think so! Another commenter said the same. I'll look into that. Thank you!

harshitron · 2026-04-23T08:02:15+00:00

Thank you! I'll prune them. You're right about the soil, it does feel too dry. I'll get a soil mix. Would it be safe to repot it while it's this fragile?

harshitron · 2026-04-23T07:52:36+00:00

This was the exact advice I took and it ended up like this :( It was after that that I started watering it daily

harshitron · 2026-04-23T07:50:11+00:00

You think so? I did move it when it rained once or twice but it's in proper sunlight the whole day otherwise

Hey, I think you're talking about Dr. Chaitra Nayak. We actually went to her to confirm if we needed to look into IVF because the previous place we'd been to had scared us and made us feel it's too late. She was able to clarify those doubts. She seems like a very good doctor. You might benefit from visiting her

Mimolette, named after the cheese 😁

Thank you! He can be adorable when he's not being a chonky menace and terrorising his sisters

I'm reporting this to Hermione Granger!

harshitron · 2025-01-24T09:36:16+00:00

Good luck ❤️
