This auction features a beautiful Bougainvillea Live Plant – Pink and White (Imperial Thai Delight). Bougainvilleas are known for their vibrant, paper-like bracts, which are often mistaken for blooms. These bracts, typically found on new growth, come in a stunning combination of pink and white, hiding small, trumpet-shaped flowers inside. Expect the most impressive display after winter dormancy, especially following a dry winter.
Care and Cultivation: To ensure a spectacular flower show, provide your Bougainvillea Live Plant with plenty of sun. As tropical natives, they require full sun to thrive. Insufficient sunlight can lead to sparse growth and reduced blooming. Regular pruning, proper fertilization, and attentive watering are key to maintaining a healthy and vibrant plant.
Pruning and Fertilizing: Pruning is essential for maintaining your bougainvillea’s desired size and shape, as well as encouraging new blooms. Remove dead or faded flowers to promote fresh growth. Use an all-purpose fertilizer recommended for flowering plants, following package directions carefully. Regular watering is necessary, especially for new plants and those in hot climates, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
