One plant didn’t make it. It must have drain holes to enable the water to flow through. NellThanks Nell for responding so quickly. Bougies are big babies when it comes to their roots – they don’t like to be disturbed & need really good drainage. Nothing good seems to be happening.

Hope that helps! I never supplementally watered my very established bougies in Santa Barbara & they did fine. We use water from the river that we live on which has some salinity at times but my lime trees are doing fine. Bougies are tough – just make sure it doesn’t dry out in the transition period. When the wind blows many of the leaves of the Bougainvillea find their way into my veggie garden where I grow squash and peppers. Bougainvillea loves sun & heat so new growth will come in the spring. I bought a potted Bougainvillea and wanted to plant it next to my fence, it’s a wooden fence with chicken wire in the open parts. You’ll see black droppings around the base of the plant. In extreme cases, the contaminated soil has to be removed. I think she’s gonna be okay. It’s hard to say without knowing all the conditions. Just make sure you’re pruners are really sharp! am i wrong? I didn’t know I was suppose to leave Bogie in the original pot. Give them a good dose of compost & keep them well watered while establishing. The first year I bought the house in San Dimas, CA. Their root systems are actually rather fine. My orange bougainvillea seems very happy EXCEPT the flowers have turned magenta (which I hate!) Each have new growth shooting up from the bottom but how do I get them to pick up where they left off last year? I can answer this for you – most vines can be not only trained on a wall but can grow as the ground as well. !Hi Laura – Established plants can withstand a hard freeze much better than younger bougies like yours.They’re native to the tropics so they don’t like those cold temps. On a wall – If you have a chain-link fence, after a little initial guidance, it will attach itself. They are approx 3 feet tall. NellLeslie – You’re welcome! At the moment its just trial and error. I don’t need massive trails coming off it, just want some low maintanence color. So far I have fuchsia, white, pink, and red. Then it hit me that this was a bougainvillea, duh. They’ll also drop all their foliage. Even a garden fleece covering will be beneficial, raising the temperatures below it by a few degrees consistently - it's available from Home Depot etc, and is very low cost. Both of mine are planted next to a structure as well as the sidewalk & driveway. This winter was very mild for us but in colder years, more leaves have dropped off my plants & flowering hasn’t started as early. I would think that the smaller, lower growing varieties would do fine. Or Should I just start over? I cut out chunks of the pot on the bottom, basically enlarging the drain holes. Now they look like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.Hi Nell, I’m so glad I found your post. The first winter it got hit w a freeze, followed by half the flowers it had originally. Make slits in the pots for the roots to grow out & just sink the plant. They look beautiful, but my concern is that they are only a few feet apart and I have read that there should be 6-9 feet of spacing. Some break down much faster than others & you may be able to plant next spring if winter brings rain. NellThis is my first year with this plant absolutely love it.

NellHi Anton – I love bougainvilleas too even when I have to sweep up masses of colored bracts. as quickly as I worked at florida cypress gardens, we had them 40+ ft severe transforming into on telephone poles.

They’re not hard to train but it does take a little effort. There’s a variety called “rosenka” which has both orange & pale pink flowers but it’s definitely not reddish pink. NellWe live in South Florida and bought a Bougainvillea tree about a month ago. Thanks for providing such great information!

I planted 3 different colour bouganvilla in a very sunny spot and grew them up a trellis. Thanks!Hi Blaine – It looked like a green chimney when I bought the house. Is there something I can feed it to help it? There's an example of such a feed here - As you're living in a potential cooler zone than they'd like - and I know them growing in the Bay area, any winter protection that you give may be welcomed, whilst your plants are younger. Is there an alternative flowering vine that you would suggest to replace the boug? I didn’t touch them all winter and I didn’t water them. My question is : should I take it out of the basket first or plant it as is? I know I can experiment and do what is necessary, but just curious.
