Key Features:
- Vibrant Colors: Bougainvillea produces vivid, long-lasting bracts that add a burst of color to gardens, patios, and indoor spaces.

- Low Maintenance: Bougainvillea is relatively easy to care for, requiring little attention once established.
Planting Instructions:
-
Seed Preparation: Soak Bougainvillea seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
-
Timing: Plant seeds in late winter to early spring, giving them ample time to establish before the growing season.
-
Soil Preparation: Choose a well-draining soil mix. Bougainvillea prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0. Amend heavy soils with sand or perlite to improve drainage.
-
Sowing Depth: Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or small pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Lightly cover the seeds with soil.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to mist the soil lightly to avoid overwatering.
Growing Conditions:
-
Light: Bougainvillea thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and bract production.
-
Temperature: These plants prefer warm climates and are best grown in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
-
Humidity: Bougainvillea can tolerate low humidity but thrives in moderately humid environments.
Care Tips:
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and poor growth. Reduce watering in the winter months.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage vibrant bract production.
- Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain shape and promote bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged stems and trim back excessive growth to encourage flowering.
- Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or arbor for Bougainvillea to climb. Tie young stems gently to supports as they grow.
Pest and Disease Management:
- Pests: Monitor for common pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and spider mites. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control infestations.
- Diseases: Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and root rot.
