Bougainvillea is a hardy tropical vine that grows in areas where winter temperatures remain above 30 degrees F. (-1 C.). The plant usually produces three rounds of vibrant blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Bougainvillea needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day to flower profusely and look its best. This plant loves the heat too. Not enough sun = not enough color. Water a newly planted bougainvillea frequently to keep the soil moist. Once the plant is established, it blooms best if the soil is a little on the dry side. Water the plant until liquid drips through the drainage hole, then don’t water again until the potting mixture feels slightly dry. However, don’t allow the soil to become completely dry because a water-stressed plant won’t bloom. Water the plant immediately if it looks wilted. Bougainvillea is a heavy feeder and requires regular fertilization to produce blooms throughout the growing season. You can use a water-soluble fertilizer mixed at half strength every seven to 14 days, or apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring and midsummer.
Bougainvillea requires at least 6 hours of full sun daily to flower profusely and maintain vibrant colors. Insufficient sunlight results in reduced blooming and less vibrant foliage.
Water a newly planted Bougainvillea frequently to keep the soil moist, but once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the soil become completely dry to prevent wilting and reduced blooming.
Bougainvillea is generally non-toxic to pets and children, but its thorns can cause injury. It's advisable to plant it in areas where children and pets do not frequently play to avoid accidental scratches.
