Planting & Care

When your starter plant arrives, transplant it into a well-draining potting mix or garden soil in 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 prefers slightly dry conditions and can suffer from root rot in poorly drained soils.

Provide a trellis or support for climbing varieties, and prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Protect from frost in cooler climates by growing in a container that can be moved indoors.
