Planting Instructions:

• - Choose a location with good air circulation
• - Thrives in containers or directly in the ground in zones 10-11

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5
• - Well-draining, slightly acidic soil

Watering Specifics:

• - Container soil should not be allowed to dry out
• - Established plants in soil only need watering if it hasn't rained for a couple of weeks
• - Reduce watering in winter when growth slows

Fertilizer Type:

• - Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring
• - Apply a phosphorus-rich fertilizer monthly during the growing season to promote flowering
• - Container plants benefit from additional fertilizer every 3 weeks during the growing season
• - Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms
• - Do not fertilize when overwintering indoors

Pruning and Training:

• - Prune after flowering to maintain shape and control size
• - Remove dead or damaged wood in early spring
• - Train climbing varieties on trellises or support structures
• - Stems must be tied or attached to supports as bougainvillea cannot climb on its own

Additional Pest Management:

• - Watch for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and caterpillars
• - Monitor for diseases such as leaf spot and root rot, especially in humid conditions

Blooming Indicators:

• - Blooms most heavily in spring and fall, with sporadic flowering in summer
• - Flowers appear on new growth, so regular pruning encourages more blooms

Light Requirements:

• - Can tolerate partial shade, but flowering may be reduced

Temperature Tolerance:

• - Not frost-hardy; protect or bring indoors when temperatures drop below 40°F

Overwintering Instructions:

• - In regions with freezing temperatures, bring container plants indoors
• - Before moving inside, trim the plant back to about 24 inches
• - Place near an east, south, or west-facing window, keeping it a couple of feet away
• - Avoid placing near heating vents or registers
• - Let the soil dry between waterings
• - Do not fertilize during the overwintering period
