- For the best results put your plants in full sun. If you want good blooming give them at least 5 hours of full sun daily as a minimum.
- More hours of direct sun is better. Less than 5 hours per day and the plant may not bloom very well.
- Your plants will thrive in shade or partial shade, but only have nice growth with little or no blooms.
- 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.
- 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.
- Plants kept indoors typically have excellent vegetative growth but not much in the way of blooms.
- When planted outdoors, a southern exposure is best.
- 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.
- 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.
- On an ongoing basis, allow the soil around the plant to become nearly dry and then water thoroughly
- Plants grow best with small amounts of nutrients constantly available
- Do not apply fertilizers to dry soil – Do not overfertilize – in this case less is better than more, also check out applying water-soluble fertilizer.
