Planting & Care
Plant your Jamaican Red Bougainvillea starter in a location that receives full sun and has well-drained soil. If growing in a container, use a quality potting mix and choose a pot with drainage holes. Water regularly after planting to help the plant establish, then reduce watering slightly once it is settled. Bougainvillea generally performs best when the soil is allowed to dry a bit between waterings.
Provide a trellis, arbor, or other support for the vine to climb. In cooler climates, grow it in a container and move it indoors or to a protected area before frost. Prune lightly as needed to shape the plant and encourage new growth. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root problems.
