Medium Bougainvillea Bonsai
🌱 This tree has found a home. Every Sacred Bamboo tree is a one-of-one piece of art — but its siblings below are still looking for theirs.
Care guide
- Species
- Bougainvillea glabra (Bougainvillea)
- Light
- Full sun — minimum 6 hours direct or it won't flower.
- Water
- Let it dry between waterings — stress drives flowering.
- Soil
- Free-draining bonsai mix; loose on the nutrients.
- Feed
- Low-N, high-P feed in flowering season; balanced rest of year.
- Where
- Outdoor year-round in JHB; mulch the soil through cold snaps.
- Notes
- The 'flowers' are coloured bracts. Wear gloves — thorns are vicious. Prune hard after each flowering flush.
