Description: Welcome... Bougainvillea Purple Variegated Well Rooted Variety Flowers Rare Plant Cuttings How and When to Plant BougainvilleaIn the garden, plant these South American natives 6 to 9 feet apart in well-draining soil and away from other plants to give them room to grow. Because they have sharp thorns, locate them several feet away from a walkway or other area of activity. Plant bougainvillea in the garden in spring or summer, which gives the plant time to develop a strong root system before cool weather. Bougainvillea Care Tips LightBougainvillea needs plenty of sun. Some varieties can handle part sun but won't perform as well as they could in full sun. In less than full sun, plants will be much more sparse and have a less spectacular flower show, if any at all. On the other hand, keeping your bougainvillea in full sun will keep your plant blooming. Soil and WaterIf you plant bougainvilleas in the ground, make sure they have well-drained soil. they don't like to remain wet for too long. This plant likes it dry, so water it deeply every three or four weeks, rather than more frequently. If you haven't had a significant show of blooms recently, try giving your plant a drought period by withholding water. This can sometimes trick your plants into a dormancy period and trigger blooming.If you're using bougainvillea as an indoor houseplant, plant them in moist, well-draining potting soil and keep the plants mostly dry during winter. Temperature and HumidityIn the garden, this plant performs best when the temperature is at least 60°F, and it tolerates temperatures as high as 95°F. It thrives in dry conditions. When bougainvillea is grown as a houseplant, it likes high humidity of about 50 percent during the blooming period and lower humidity during the winter. FertilizerBougainvillea is a heavy feeder. Fertilize the plant monthly during its active growing season. Scratch a granular fertilizer into the soil and water well. If you can't find a dedicated bougainvillea fertilizer, use a 10-10-10 general-purpose fertilizer. PruningIf your plants are getting out of hand, pruning and maintenance are best done in the fall before a new growth cycle. You can also periodically trim rangy stems as needed throughout the year. Pests and ProblemsThe biggest threat to bougainvillea plants in the garden is the appropriately named bougainvillea caterpillar. This 1-inch caterpillar dines on the leaves of the plant, leaving them looking ragged. You probably won't see this pest because when you touch the plant, the caterpillar falls to the ground. If you see leaves that have been munched on, you can treat the plant with a control such Bacillus Thuringiensis. Thank You...
