Transplant into a container or garden bed with well-draining soil. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Bougainvillea is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn cooler climates, grow bougainvillea in a container that can be moved indoors during winter.
