The height depends upon the height of the supporting structure.</p><p>They do well in areas where winter temperatures do not drop below freezing, and they are especially suited to southern coastal regions, such as <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-florida.html" data-lasso-id="769868">Bougainvillea found in Florida</a>. [<a data-lasso-id="734364" href="https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/Bougainvillea-2/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">source</a>]</p><p>The showy plant can be used in a multitude of ways:</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe title="Bougainvilleas" width="770" height="578" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/19gJUQuBgao?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></figure><p>The plant has two very distinct growth cycles. During the winter months, it is typically in the vegetative growth cycle when it produces new leaves and stem growth. </p><p>Ample sunlight will also result in the development of buds during this time. With too little sun, buds will not grow and the plant will simply continue producing leaves.</p><p>During the blooming period, the plant displays color as the buds mature and the bracts color up. The healthier the plant and the more direct sunlight it receives, the longer the blooming period will last. </p><p>A healthy plant in a conducive environment will have bloom times lasting between 3 and 5 weeks.</p><p>When the plant is actively blooming, it will tend to lose a lot of leaves. This should not concern you as they will quickly be replaced in the next growth flush.

Generally speaking, Bougainvillea blooms best during the time of year when the days and nights are of equal lengths.</p><p><a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-flower.html" data-lasso-id="777641">Trouble With Your Bougainvillea Not Flowering?</a></p><p>In the United States, the peak blooms are typically in the spring and the autumn.

If you want good blooming give them at least 5 hours of full sun daily as a minimum.</p><p>More hours of direct sun is better. Less than 5 hours per day and the plant may not bloom very well.</p><p>Your plants will thrive in shade or partial shade, but only have nice growth with little or no blooms.</p><p>Bougainvillea is typically kept as an outdoor plant in a tropical setting, but if you live in a colder climate you can keep it in a hanging basket or container indoors or in a greenhouse. Move it outdoors during the warmer months.</p><p>Don’t expect your plants to flower indoors. If possible, keep your plants outdoors and give it the maximum sun exposure. Any flowering you may receive indoors is a bonus.</p><p>Plants kept indoors typically have excellent vegetative growth but not much in the way of blooms.</p><p>When planted outdoors, a southern exposure is best.</p><h4>Temperature</h4><p>Bougainvilleas are hardy throughout the South but young growth will be damaged by frost. Optimum growing temperatures are warm days (70°-85° degrees Fahrenheit) and cool nights (60°-70° degrees Fahrenheit).</p><p>A light frost will not kill the plant, but you can soon expect all the leaves and bracts to fall off.</p><p>In this case, the plant will regrow if not subjected to more frosts for longer duration.</p><h3>Watering & Feeding</h3><p>Once established, Bougainvillea are quite drought tolerant and can do well in hot, dry settings. On a newly planted Bougainvillea, keep it well watered until it becomes established and new roots and new growth is evident.</p><p>A healthy container-grown Bougainvillea in a pot will drink a lot of water during the warm times of the year. In cooler periods or when you bring your plants indoors for the winter, the water requirement will be much less.</p><p>On an ongoing basis, allow the soil around the plant to become nearly dry and then water thoroughly.</p><p>SO how much water does Bougainvillea need for proper care and blooming. As always it depends on:</p><ul><li>Soil type</li><li>Root system</li><li>Size of the plant</li><li>Air temperature</li></ul><p>Don’t water just to water your plants. Inspect your plants regularly, and learn when they are close to wilting and how much water they need. Then give the plant a good, thorough soaking just before it reaches the wilt stage.</p><p>Remember during the summer heat plants will use up water quickly, so inspect often.</p><p><strong>Check Out:</strong> <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-watering.html" data-lasso-id="770720">12 Tips on Bougainvillea Watering</a></p><h4>Bougainvilla Fertilizing</h4><p>Mature plants can be heavy feeders.

Any well-draining soil that works for other plants you grow beautiful plants.</p><p>Many growers feel the plant does best in a soiless media. </p><p>When growing Bougainvillea in a container, plants seldom need repotting. They grow and bloom best when the root ball is pot bound. </p><p>Growers use a potting media that drains well but don’t let the plants dry out between waterings. To be successful <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-in-pots.html" data-lasso-id="777658">growing in Bougainvillea pots</a>, keep containers moist but they need to be well-drained. No sitting plants in standing water – it is an invitation for root rot.</p><p>When repotting Bougainvillea, be sure to dampen the planting media before working with the plant. A very dry soil mixture can damage the plants’ fine roots.</p><p>Bougainvillea grows well in almost any kind of container as long as it has ample drainage. Beware of using black containers when placing the plant in full sunlight. They can become dangerously hot.</p><p><strong>Related:</strong> <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-soil.html" data-lasso-id="771302">What Is The Best Soil For Bougainvillea?</a></p><h3>Grooming & Maintenance</h3><p>Many homeowners simply let Bougainvillea grow wild, rambling up walls and over fences as it will.

It tolerates all levels of pruning, trimming and pinching back at any time of the year. It is a good idea to trim after each bloom cycle.</p><p>Pruning your bougainvillea to keep the plant within bounds, is necessary. After flowering, cut back the season’s growth severely and remove all thin, weak, or ailing branches. The less-dense the vine, the more outstandingly decorative.</p><h2>How To Propagate Bougainvillea</h2><p>Bougainvillea is easy to grow from stem cuttings. Cuttings should be 6″ to 8″ inches long. Coat the ends of each <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/rooting-hormone-rootone.html" data-lasso-id="734370">cutting with rooting hormone</a> and poke them into a shallow container of well draining potting medium. A mixture of 50% peat moss and 50% perlite is a good rooting media.</p><p>Water deeply and place a plastic bag over the cuttings. Place the pot in a cool setting with dim light. </p><p>Leave it alone is much as possible, only watering occasionally to keep the soil slightly moist. You should have a new Bougainvillea plant within 3 to 6 months.</p><h3>Bougainvillea Pest or Disease Problems</h3><p>Well cared for Bougainvillea are mostly pest and disease free. Plants that are undernourished or kept in less than ideal settings may fall prey to a wide variety of garden pests, including:</p><ul><li>Bougainvillea Looper Caterpillars</li><li>Spider Mites</li><li>Mealybugs</li><li>Aphids</li><li>Scale</li><li>Snails</li><li>Slugs</li></ul><p>The best way to deal with these pests is to avoid having them in the first place by planting in a light, airy soil, watering the right amount, providing the right amount of sunlight and keeping your plants properly pruned and thinned for good air circulation.</p><p>if you do have problems with any of these pests or diseases such as root rot, approach the problem with the least toxic method first. </p><p><strong>Related:</strong> Check out this article on – <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/bougainvillea-pest.html" data-lasso-id="779369">What Plant Pests Or Bugs Attack Bougainvillea?</a></p><p>With Bougainvillea, it is far better to rely on beneficial insects for pest control than to resort to chemicals.

Maybe this picture will make you think twice.</p><p>Bougainvillea tree or plant is found in many landscapes not only in south Florida but all across the southeast, California and the Mediterranean.</p><p>Caring is not difficult when planted in the ground but growing bougainvillea in pots and containers does require care with a watchful eye. Don’t let them dry out!</p><p>Bougainvilleas are usually grown as bushes but standards are beginning to find their way in as a spring flowering addition.</p><p>The popular Bougainvillea plant derives its name from the paper-thin, brilliantly colored bracts, or scale-like leaves, that form perky geometric frames around the small flowers.</p><p>A lax-stemmed, woody perennial in the South, the bougainvillea is a showy subject in Northern greenhouses and in containers in gardens, and for indoors in a large sunny window. It is even tolerant of seashore growing conditions. Originally, the dominant color was magenta-purple; but there are many exotic shades of salmon, orange (Bougainvillea x Buttiana), gold, and red.</p><h3>Potted Bougainvillea – Good Soil and Drainage</h3><p>These plants are content with any good soil mix, as long as drainage is provided. Do not allow them sit in puddles of water and make sure the drainage holes do not become plugged.</p><p>Potted Bougainvillea flowers best when they receive full sun, and in temperatures of no less than 60° degrees Fahrenheit.</p><p>Summer and early fall is the season of active new growth when flower buds are set; generous feeding is helpful during that time. Flowering is reputedly in spring, but my vines – and others I have known – have flowered at intervals all during the year.</p><p>Transplant or repot with as little root disturbance as possible. If the vine is frostbitten, simply cut it back to living wood.</p><div class="wp-block-image size-full wp-image-78162"><figure class="aligncenter"><span class='novashare-pinterest-image'><img width="640" height="427" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20640%20427'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt class="wp-image-78162 perfmatters-lazy" data-src="https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min.jpg" data-srcset="https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min.jpg 640w, https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min-600x400.jpg 600w" data-sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><noscript><img width="640" height="427" src="https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-78162" srcset="https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min.jpg 640w, https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></noscript><span class='novashare-pinterest-image-button' href='https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplantcaretoday.com%2Fhow-to-grow-and-care-for-bougainvillea.html&media=https://plantcaretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/bougainvillea-bonsai-tree-FB-640-447-04302018-min.jpg&description=How%20To%20Grow%20and%20Care%20For%20Bougainvillea' target='_blank' rel='nofollow noopener noreferrer'><svg role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 384 512"><path fill="currentColor" d="M204 6.5C101.4 6.5 0 74.9 0 185.6 0 256 39.6 296 63.6 296c9.9 0 15.6-27.6 15.6-35.4 0-9.3-23.7-29.1-23.7-67.8 0-80.4 61.2-137.4 140.4-137.4 68.1 0 118.5 38.7 118.5 109.8 0 53.1-21.3 152.7-90.3 152.7-24.9 0-46.2-18-46.2-43.8 0-37.8 26.4-74.4 26.4-113.4 0-66.2-93.9-54.2-93.9 25.8 0 16.8 2.1 35.4 9.6 50.7-13.8 59.4-42 147.9-42 209.1 0 18.9 2.7 37.5 4.5 56.4 3.4 3.8 1.7 3.4 6.9 1.5 50.4-69 48.6-82.5 71.4-172.8 12.3 23.4 44.1 36 69.3 36 106.2 0 153.9-103.5 153.9-196.8C384 71.3 298.2 6.5 204 6.5z"></path></svg><span style='margin-left: 4px;'>Pin</span></span></span><figcaption>Beautiful Bougainvillea Bonsai in flower</figcaption></figure></div><h3>Popular Bougainvillea Varieties</h3><p><em><strong>Bougainvillea glabra</strong></em> – The familiar magenta species.
