Bougainvilleas are stunning flowering plants that are perfect for adding color and texture to any garden or outdoor space. They are known for their vibrant, papery flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, orange, purple, and white. Here are some tips for taking care of bougainvilleas:

Light: Bougainvilleas require full sun to thrive. They should be planted in an area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Water: Bougainvilleas prefer well-drained soil and do not tolerate overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering.

Fertilizer: Bougainvilleas benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season (spring and summer). You can use a balanced fertilizer every two to four weeks.

Pruning: Bougainvilleas can become quite large and unruly if left unpruned. Regular pruning will help to keep them under control and encourage new growth.

Pests and diseases: Bougainvilleas are relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, they can be prone to root rot if overwatered, and aphids and mealybugs can sometimes be a problem. Check your plants regularly for any signs of infestation and treat as necessary.

With proper care, bougainvilleas can thrive and bloom for many years, adding color and beauty to your outdoor space.. Mature Size: 3-8′ x 3-4′ after 2 years. Full Sun (6+ Hours).
