Bougainvillea nego

Bougainvillea, imenovano tudi knjiga cvet je rojen v Braziliji, in spada v družino Nyctaginaceae. Ta tropski plezalka je idealen za obešanje košar in gojena v posodah, kjer je lahko njegovo kaskade živahno cvetenja vinske trte. Cvet je unremarkable primerjavi s svetlo barvi, papir podobnih ovršnih listih, ki obdajajo cvet.

Bougainvillea

Kupil sem dva lepa Bougainvillea rastlin to pomlad. Želel bi, da bi jih za zimo. Nimam klet in garažo bi bilo preveč mrzlo. Vse predloge, kako bi jih shranite pozimi? Naj obrezuj ga, ko sem jo prinesla? Naj ga blizu okna ali bi moral biti temno?

Bougainvillea so tropske rastline Hardy v coni 8-10. To bo dopuščala temperature so kul kot 30-40 stopinj, vendar bo potrebno zaščito, ali ga lahko zamrznemo in umrl.
Za winterover vaših Bougainvillea zaprtih prostorih, vodijo v kul, najsvjetlijih prostor v hiši (vzhodno ali severno okno) s temperaturami med 50-60 stopinj. Če postane preveč toplo, se bo povečalo, ampak poglej Visok in blede zaradi nezadostnega soncu. Manj vode v zimskem obdobju omogoča tal na suho med napajanjem in ne Oploditi. Lahko obrezuj rastlin v bolj obvladljiva, vendar večjih obrezovanja je treba narediti v spomladi, preden začne novo rasti. Njim bi lahko celo padec njenih listov v tem času, vendar je zamisel je, da je rastlina živa do pomladi.

WINTEROVER Bougainvillea

V hladnijim regije Bougainvillea lahko tudi shranjene mirujočih v kleti ali garaži. Zmanjšati zalivanje, rezano nazaj rastlin ravno dovolj, da bi upravljali in hraniti v hladnem temnem prostoru. Obrat bo padec vseh njenih listov. Preverite tla občasno v zimskem obdobju, zalivanje rahlo samo, da je iz povsem izsušitev. Ne Oploditi v tem času.

    Obrezovanje Bougainvillea

    Imam saksiji Bougainvillea ki je izgubil veliko listi in veje, ki so izgubila tistih listi so posušeni in umrl. Prav tako je pošten znesek nove rasti na drugih področjih -, ki je rastlina precej točkicama. (nekatere nove rasti nekaj mrtvih kotov). Kaj naj naredim, da naprava polno novo rast?

    Bougainvillea cvetenjem na novo rast, zato zavzema tudi za obrezovanje. Lahko obrezuj v pozne jeseni in zgodaj spomladi, kot tudi lahka obrezovanja v vsej rastni sezoni te bo spodbudila nove Žbunast rasti.

    Obrezovanje Bougainvillea

    Živimo v Houstonu v Teksasu. Naš zelo zrel Bougainvillea vedno bloomed super. Vendar pa je bilo vstajanje iz nadzora velikost pametno. I obrežejo nazaj v trdem konec marca, po našem zadnjem zamrzujte. Listi so vse goji nazaj, vendar ni še rože (običajno smo imeli polne cvetja, ki ga sedaj). Bom dobil cvetje to leto? Or did i obrezuj preveč trdo ali prepozno?

    Najboljši čas za čiščenje je takoj po cvetenju. Ki jih lahko sprejmejo svetlobo obrezovanja vsi sezona dolg. Če vaša naprava Obrastao in jo potrebujete za kontrolo velikosti, zgodaj spomladi, preden začne rasti je pravi čas za trde slivov. Po napornem obrezovanja bougainvilleas ponavadi ustavi Cvetoč in dajo na močno vegetativno rast, ki jih lahko proizvedejo trni namesto rože. Poskusite "razcvet spodbudila" gnojilo za spodbujanje je roža.

    John vasi (johnvasi@cox.net /)
    Živim v južni Kaliforniji. Imam Bougainvillea (rdeča) v celoti ne. To je najmanj 30 let starega. Poskušal sem priti, da razširijo čez verando področju, ki ga omogoča podružnice raste v tej smeri. Po nekaj letih se je podružnice ima leseno in dobim zelo skopi leaf rasti. Lahko obrezuj nazaj lesa na teh dolgih podružnic (morda 15 ft) za pospeševanje rasti, ali naj se jima je vzel besedo in promocijo novih podružnic zajema območje želim?

    Trdi obrezovanja razkosavanjem nazaj 1 / 2 do 2 / 3, morajo spodbujati nove veje in popolnejšega bushier rastlin. To je treba storiti, preden začne novo rasti zgodaj spomladi. Imejte v mislih, da bo težko obrezovanja rastlin stop cvetenja in pojdite na vegetativen raste fazi; producting veliko zeleno rast in morda dolgo krivljenega trnje v listni axils. Lahko se uporabljajo cvetenja povečanje ali bolje cvetenja po težkih obrezovanja na upočasni vegetativno rast in spodbujanju novih cvetnih proizvodnje. A soft obrezovanja kot pinching nasvetov nazaj v obliki neposrednih in rasti se lahko opravi v vsej rastni sezoni.

  • Deanna

    Lahko delite nasvete o deljenjem Bougainvillea. Moj je precej velik (lonec velikost 2 "in jaz sem v skrbeh, da je še koren zavezuje in želi deliti to ustrezno) hvala

    Razdelite vaš Bougainvillea v spomladi na začetku rastne sezone. Voda vaših rastlin nekaj ur vnaprej, saj bo to lažje za odstranitev rastlin iz trave. Previdno odstranite iz lonec in z ostrim nožem prerežite na odseke. Odstrani mrtev in zapleten korenine. Bodite prepričani, da se uporabi sveže šote temelji zemlje in čistih posodah. Rastlin je na isti ravni, da je bilo pred narašča. Po repotting trim stran 1 / 3 rastlin vinske trte, to bo korenine čas za rast in hraniti z listi. Če ne morete saksiju, topdress. Za topdress ostružka proč vrh 1-2 cm od tal, in napolniti s svežo zemljo premeša. Zgornji sloj bo zagotavljal dodatnih hranil do korenin

  • Carol

    Moja zelo veliko Bougainvillea utrpela znatno škodo od (nenavadno) zmrzal to zimo. Kdaj naj obrezuj nazaj mrtvih vej? Bo preživela?
    Hvala.

    Bougainvilleas lahko opomore od nekaterih zmrzali škodo dokler korenine niso zamrznjene. Počakajte, da obrezuj pri vseh nevarnosti zmrzali je opravil na vašem območju. Nekatere mrtve veje maj presenečenje vi in resprout novo rast v pomlad. Če obrezuj prezgodaj in dobili, ki jih je prizadela pozeba koli druge nove rasti bo še posebej občutljivi za zmrzal. Raščiniti trima in tanek in Dugonog rasti spomladi in začeti oplojevalcu enkrat mesečno se začne raste. Če drugi zmrzal je uglednih pokrivajo vaše obrat z odejo ali plastike. Upamo, da vaš obrat bo vrnil dvakrat lepa.

    Jaz sem v Phuket, Tajska in bi rad nasvete za nego Bougainvillea v tem podnebju, ki je tropskih. Imam avtomatsko 10 minut dvakrat na dan brizgalni sistem za vrt in zemlje je dobro drenažo.
    Moj vrtnar je napajanje zapusti moje rastline - je to dobra ideja?

    Zdravo Carol
    Bougainvillea storiti tudi v tropskih podnebnih. Te uspevajo v polni sonca in toplote in cvet najboljših pri hrani rahlo poudaril in na suho strani. To so težka za hrano in jih je treba redno krmljene z 1 / 2 moči gnojilo, ki jih ohranja vse Cvetoč sezona dolg. Kar avtomatsko zalivanje .. dvakrat na dan ne smejo dovoliti, da rastlin izsušijo in ga hranite v vlažnem stanju ves čas, kar bo spodbudilo nove rasti, vendar ne cvetja, kakor tudi koren gnilobe, če sproti tudi mokra. Ne morete vode obrata za svoj urnik, ki ste jih z vodo v skladu s potrebami rastlin, kar je zlasti v deževnem obdobju. Nadzemni napajanje ni najboljša ideja, je bolje da se voda neposredno v tla. Če so listi mokri nimajo možnosti, da se posuši, ki jih nato zvečer lahko razvijejo bolezni, kot so listne pega in praškasti Ubuđati.

  • debi

    moj Bougainvillea ni novih rast na vseh še. Živim v osrednji dolini Calif in sva imela nekaj unsual nizkih temps te zime. Low 30's. I did obrezuj nazaj nekaj tednov nazaj. Mislim, da je morda mrtev. Kakorkoli znanja za povedati?

    Čas bo povedal. Počakaj vreme segreje, lahko presenetiti in vam poslali gor nov poganjki iz korenin. Če ne vidite nobenih novih rast v naslednjem mesecu, to je verjetno mrtev

    Mi zasadi Bougainvillea nazadnje avgusta v našem dvorišču. Živimo v Mehiki, v gorah, kjer obstaja nekaj zelo lepih Bougainvillea rastline. Prav bloomed takoj, vendar ni cvetovi zdaj za nekaj časa. Izgleda, da ga lahko ima hrošče ker listov ne poglej zdrav-kodrolistna in shriveled. Vendar pa sem opazil, da se nekatere nove rasti. Moramo pršiti z pesticid ali jo zapusti in upamo na najboljše.

    Živjo Jessica
    Sliši se kot vaš obrat v pravo okolje. Tukaj je nekaj kulturnih pobud, ki jih ta potrebuje za razcvet. Bougainvillea potrebujeta vsaj 6-8 ur. polne ne. Prav odziv na Cvetoč ko so rahlo poudaril-gužvu korenin in zemlje gojijo nekoliko suh. Poleg tega Cvetoč pojavi na novo rasti, tako svetlo obrezovanja bo spodbudila nove gospodarske rasti in hkrati odpravila obolelih listov. Rahlo napaja vaš rastlin 2-3 krat na leto z uravnoteženo gnojilo. Na splošno pomanjkanje cvetenja ponavadi zgodi iz ni dovolj sonca, preveč vode, preveč dušika. Obstajajo tudi sorte, ki Bougainvillea razcvet v jesenskem v odgovor na kratkih dni. Če insektov problem gets huje, nato pa boste morali ugotoviti in obravnavati problem.

    lahko odreže veja je Bougainvillea ter zaslužiti to za root .... kaj se
    pravilno pot, da ga na koren iz
    rezanje? hvala

    Lahko Promovirati Bougainvillea v pomlad / e. poletna noč, ko so temperature nad 55degrees. Bodite mehkega potaknjenci s 5-9 vozlišč, trakovi spodnji listi, ki bo v zemlji in dip koncih v rootone. Sub-terminalni potaknjenci (nasveti odstranijo) Zdi se, da delajo boljše od konice potaknjenci so manj dovzetni za bolezni in gnilobe. Vstavite rezanja v pesek / šota tal in ga položimo v plastično vrečko (da se ohrani visoka vlažnost) v senci. Zemlja mora biti vlažna in ne dovoliti, da izsušijo. Bottom toploto 72 stopinj, je predlagala, da se pospeši navijali, ki naj bi 6-12 tedne. Bougainvillea lahko tudi razmnožen iz trdega potaknjenci (golimi stebli) v Jesen / Zima in traja 3-4 mesecev do stavke korenine.

    Imam velik lonec fuschia boug. da sem prinesel notri vsako zimo. Dobim dve bloomings noter. Vzel sem jo zunaj tega spomladi in sedaj je malina / rdeči barvi maka. (Ki ne gredo z moje vroče rožnate vrt) Kako lahko dobim nazaj barvo fuschia. Miracid? Hvala

    Sprememba cvetnih barv vpliva več dejavnikov: temperatura, količina svetlobe, kakovost svetloba, pH in mikrohranila v tleh. Nizke temperature, več svetlobe povečanje antocijanom ki je rdeče / škrlatno barvilo v rastlinah, nasprotno veliko temps, manj svetlobe zmanjša anthocyainin. Ph gnojila in ima tudi vplivajo na odtenek rdeče. Poskusite Miracid in poglejte, če je spremembe barve. Naj ve, kaj se dogaja.

    Lahko mešam TAL IN Epson SOLI IN ampak korenine se Bougainvillea ZA STOPALA?

    Epsom soli je dober vir za magnezij in žveplo. Glede na Epsom soli Sveta študije kažejo, da ta mikrohranila, da rastline rastejo bushier, proizvajajo več cvetja, izboljšanje fosforja in dušika in poveča chlrophyll proizvodnje. Ponavadi je pomešana z vodo in napajali v (2 TBLsp 2,5 dekle vode). Zato bi bilo treba uporabljati previdno, preveč lahko povzroči težave. Eventhough Epsom soli lahko stori nekaj dobrega, je boljši način za Oploditi vaših rastlin je zagotoviti dobro uravnotežene gnojilo z mikrohranila vključeni.

  • Valerie Bench

    Jaz sem poskušal lonec popolnoma rdeče Bougainvillea. Ive 'been od to tell B. Kras je najboljši in so kupili nekaj. So opazili, da ko oklepaju so mladi so rdeče in nato zrel za pinker barvo. Je pH tal je možnost za raziskovanje, ki jih ohranja na redder strani?

    Barvo cvetov bo seveda dobil lažjih kot zrela, je možno, da se pH spremeni barvo, temveč drugi dejavniki, kot so temperatura, količina sonca in hranila imajo tudi vpliva na barvo. Poskusite z znižanjem pH oglas videli kaj se bo zgodilo.

    Imam 2 čudovita Bougainvillea, jaz živim v samem severovzhodu Louisiana, lahko sadi v zemljo? Ali pa jih potrebujejo, da ostanejo v posodah?

    Bougainvilleas so težki v območjih 8-10, ste v coni 8 na mejni koncu odpornosti. Lahko jih zasadi v zemljo. To bo dopuščala temperature so kul kot 30-40 stopinj, vendar bo potrebno zaščito, ali ga lahko zamrznemo in umrl. Rastlin je na južni strani hiše

    .

    Moj mož in jaz kupil 4 rastline v viseče košare v Winston Salem, NC. Želim obdržati v lončkih, vendar nisem prepričan, če bo v tej klimi. Vsaka pomoč je zelo cenjen. Tammie

    Bougainvillea je tropskih rastlinskih in zmrzal je občutljiva. Je rasla v območju 8-10. Trenutno se nahajate v območju 8. Lahko gremo mirujočih v zimskem in padec njihovih listov. Morda boste želeli za zaščito pred skrajno hladno z ohranjanjem košare v garaži in zalivanje le rahlo, da je iz povsem izsušitev. Važno je, da so korenine žive, tako da regrow naslednje pomladi.

    Pomoč! Vem nič o vrtovih in so lepi vijolično Bougainvillea. Ive 'had to zunaj in na neki točki izgubil vse rože in nekateri listi. I oplojene in imam na redni ciklus zalivanje cvetja in prišel nazaj boljše kot kdajkoli. Živim v Louisville KY in vreme postaja hladnijim sem prinesla drevo notri. Po obravnavi vseh pripomb nad jaz vnovčiti sem bil verjetno preveč zalivanje. Cvetje in listje, so začeli venenja in spustite. Nisem prepričan, kaj naj pričakujem z zimskih mesecih in razen škaje nazaj v vodo in posedovanje je na soncu, se še kaj sem morala narediti? Kaj naj pričakujem, da bi izgledal skozi zimo? Hvala!

    Kot mnoge druge tropicals, Bougainvillea maj padec je prepušča v zvezi z notranjim nizkih svetlobnih razmerah. Ko se to zgodi, ga shranite v garaži ali kleti, zalivanje enkrat na mesec, da se korenine živ. Premakni rastline nazaj na soncu v marcu (ko temperature ogreje in dnevi so daljši) in nato obrezuj in Oploditi.

Glavna težava je, da sem se jaz nimam nikjer primernih za shranjevanje v notranjosti je v zimskih mesecih. Mi dol v visokih 20 in 30 je v zimskem obdobju. To je tako lepo in še nisem videl boug to barvo pred in jaz definitivno ne želite izgubiti.

    Zdravo april
    Bougainvilleas so težki v conah 8-10. To bo dopuščala temperature tako nizke, kot 30-40 stopinj. Zabojnik zasaditve bi bil vaš najsigurnije stavo. Jemljete priložnost, če je rastlin v zemlji. To bo treba zavarovati ali pozimi se lahko zamrznejo s samo 4 ure. pod zamrznitev temps. Tu lahko shranjujete bouggainvillea kot notranja houseplant čez zimo.

  • Brian Brockway

    Živim v Sonoma Valley in moje Bougainvillea je posajenih med nekaj zelo velikih boulders na hribu. It gets a bit of a kaplja voda iz sistema in se je delal zelo dobro za dve leti, sem imel to. To leto je bloomed lepo, vendar potem v zadnjem tednu so barvite braktej na približno 3 / 4 obrata je bilo nekako zažgejo in so blede. Uspelo nam je nekaj mid stopnjo 90 dni, vendar sem mislil, da imajo radi toploto. Nimam Nađubren je od zgodnje pomladi, tako ne vem zakaj braktej imam zapečeno. Vse ideje, zakaj? Kako lahko dobim več cvetje (braktej) za preostanek sezone? Naj vstopnice je zgorela braktej? Thanks, Brian

    Ali je mogoče, da se korenine ne dobijo dovolj vode? Te prenašajo suhe razmere, vendar v daljšem toplota, ki jo lahko zahteva več vode kot ponavadi. Ali so dobili preveč vode z odcejanju sistem? Lahko zmanjšati / vstopnice je zgorela braktej in če so uspešne bodo poslali nove rasti. Bougainvillea lahko obrežejo v vsej rastni dobi, je najboljši po cvetenja. Po obrezovanju Oploditi vašega rastlin z 1 / 2 moči gnojilo (20-20-20, čudež rast, hitro rastejo), da spodbudi nove rasti.

    Imam Bougainvillea na Floridi in je bil v celoti cvet. Mi zasajene v ladjedelnici v MS zelo visok, vendar zdaj ni cvetja kaj tako kdaj pa je veliko velikih zelenih listov ... in še mnogo trnja, razen da izgleda dobro! Samo ne cvetenjem.

    To je lahko na novo mesto, ni dovolj ne. Poleg tega cvetenja pod stresno pogoji; morate biti root zavezuje in suhi. V rootbound del je težko, če posajene v zemlji, ampak vas lahko za nadzor nad količino vlage (razen če njegovo dežuje ves čas). Pustite, da se posuši, med napajanjem za veliko vlage bo spodbujala rast in zelene rože. Če vaša naprava suhi, poskusite uporabiti cvetenja povečanje gnojilo za spodbujanje cvetenja.

    Great site! Živim v SW FL, na območju 9-10. Želim rastlin Bougainvillea v mojem dvorišču peščenih tleh. Ali moram dodati zapiranjem v ohišja zemlje, gnojila, itd pred njihovo dajanje v tleh? Ti ukrepi bodo v celoti nedelja na lokacijo sem izbral. Hvala! Nina

    Zdravo Nina
    Dodamo nekaj komposta za vaš peščena tla in se mora narediti tudi zagotavlja dobro drenažo, kot tudi nekaterih hranil. Ko se začnejo kazati znakov novo rast lahko fertilze milo. Izogibajte se visoko dušikovih gnojil ali boste dobili več listov in cvetov (10-10-10). Te zahtevajo več hranil, ko Cvetoč (veliko fosforja kot Superbloom). V celoti ne. Lokacija je odlična!

Lahko kdo ponudi nasvete o tem, kako obnoviti poškodovanih rastlin s koreninami.
    Veliko hvala

    Vaš Bougainvillea trpi transplantacijskega šok. Pomembne stvari, ne preveč poudariti rastlin in času je treba izterjati. Jaz bi zmanjšal nazaj izvira do 1 / 2, tako da se korenine ne potrebujejo podporo toliko vrh rasti in imajo priložnost, da regrow. Se prepričajte, da so tla dobro drenažo in ne pustite rastlin izsušijo. Ker ste novi rasti in so težke hrane, Oploditi z 1 / 2 moči 20-20-20 tako spodbudil rast. Obdrži rastlin v nekoliko osenčenem območju do nove rasti perks in nato premaknite na sončni lokaciji.

    Živim 30 km zahodno od Houston v Fulshear TX področju. V začetku novembra'07, I kupili 8 čudovite rdeče Bouganvillea rastline že usposobljeni v obliki drevesa. V razponu od 6 ft do 3 ft višine. So v dobrem stanju in zdravo Cvetoč. Te currentlly so v velikih plastičnih posodah sem jih kupili v to, 65, 35 in 20 galono posodah na drevo velikosti. Želim rastlin v ladjedelnici v celoti ne. Pridelovalca, mi je povedal za uporabo super fosfat in apna za nevtralizacijo je alkalnost prsti na tem področju za zdravljenje lukenj za saditev. Pridelovalca, ki se nahaja nad 100 km od mene. Dve vprašanji. Kako točno naj grem o zdravljenju lukenj za sajenje, in bi moral počakati do pomladi do transplantacijskega v tla na tem področju podnebja. Sem še vedno v stanju premičnin v lončkih. Vse nasvete za zaščito moje naložbe appreciated.

    Bougainvillea so v Vzdržljiv Fulshear, TX (območje 9). Če sajenje na prostem: Bougainvillea kot rahlo kisle zemlje s pH 5,5-6,0. Ni vedel, kaj je tvoj prst ph je, jaz bi kopljemo dovolj velik lukenj, za vsak obrat mix v nekaterih organskih kompost (ki bo zagotovil nekaterih hranil). Se prepričajte, da so tla dobro drenažo. Voda rastline in dodate root stimulator, kot so superfosfat za spodbujanje rasti novih root. Hranite naprave na suhi strani, ko je ustanovljena. Ker Bougainvillea so zmrzal občutljivih lahko dobim pozimi leaf drop ali rastlin lahko poginuti nazaj v celoti, če je vreme postane prehladno. Rastlin z južne stene in se prepričajte, da varujejo rastline temps, ko pade pod 40F. To je bolje počakati do pomladi do rastlin, tako da lahko ima celo leto rasti, da se vzpostavi dober koreninski sistem za zimo. Apno se uporablja za povečanje ph v zemlji. Torej, če imate kislino tal s pH od 5,0, potem jo lahko dodate apno za povečanje ph.

    Hi Susan
    Bougainvilleas so težki v coni 9 in navzgor. Myrtle Beach je v coni 8. To bo zmrzniti in umre, če padec temperature do 30 F v zimskem obdobju. Njegova najbolj raste v zabojnikih in jih v zaprtih prostorih (garaža) za zaščito v zimskih mesecih. Nekateri imajo lahko srečo v naraščajoče v mikro razmere v obratu, kjer je zaščiten, ampak, da je lahko tvegano-en trd zmrzniti in vaše obrat je mrtev. Preverite vaše sosede in glej, če so naraščajoče bougs uspešno. Potrebujejo peščena tla dobro drenirana, ga hranite na suhem strani z min. 5 hrs celoti ne.

    Glina tleh lahko predstavlja težavo, ker ne odteče hitro in bo imel več vode. Bougainvilleas kot hitro odtekanje tleh preveč vode lahko ubije rastlin. Lahko spremeni tal z dodajanjem več organskih snovi kot so šotni mah, kompost itd ali rastlin v dvignjena postelja, ki bo zagotavljal boljšo drenažo. Eventhough, vaši sosedi tal izgleda isto, ne more biti enaka in njihovih obratov so ustanovljene. Vaše novo zasajenih Bougainvillea potrebuje čas, da regrow novih korenin in se aklimatizirajo na novo okolje. Med tem časom bodo padec njihovih listov in cvetov, saj korenine ne morejo krmo vse listje. Imajo tudi težnja k spusti pušča v zimskem zaradi nižjih svetlobnih razmerah in hladnejše temperature. Ko je vreme segreje (nad 50F), jima je nazaj za 1 / 3. Ko so Nicati v toplejše temperature, jih hraniti z 1 / 2 moči 20-20-20 ali Hibiskus fertizlier za obrat začel. Upam, da to pomaga. Kris

  • Tanya

    Zdravo,

    I live in Marseilles, France, and am going to plant some Bougainvilleas into the soil. Would it be OK if I use a trellis or pergola for support, are this plant wind-sustaining? We have strong winds pretty often.
    Thank you,Tanya

    Hi Tanya,
    Bougainvillea are a popular plant in southern France. A pergola or trellis will be a great support for the woody canes that can climb up to 40 feet. They should with stand windy conditions but if you want to make sure secure some of the canes to the pergola when they start to grow.

  • Kellie

    Hi, I live in London, England and I’ve had a 4 foot bougainvillea since last summer. It was fine last year on my south facing balcony (had maximum sunlight all day) and I brought it indoors during the winter, which was all fine. The weather started to get really warm a few weeks ago, so I put it back out on my balcony, unfortunately it then snowed (mad global warming weather!) and I didn’t bring it back inside in time. Now it the plant seems to have dried out and the flowers and leaves are really cripsy (although haven’t dropped off). This was 3 weeks ago and I’ve brought it back inside in a warm and sunny position, been watering it once a week and hoping it will come back. Any ideas? Time to cut it down 2/3 and start again?

    Hi Kellie
    If the roots weren’t frozen then it should come back. You can wait and see how much of the stems died and then cut it back to the dead zone. Or cut it back now by 1/3-1/2 before new growth starts. It’s good to prune it in the spring, you’ll probably end up with a healthier, more vigorous plant in the long run. Warm temperatures will stimulate new growth and if you don’t see new shoots in May then it may be dead.

  • Ligia

    Hi, I live in center of Florida by the west coast and I want to plant 3 bougainvilleas to cover a chain link fence . My goal is for them to intermingle with each other for a more colorful display. How far apart should I plant them?

    Hi Ligia

    U of Fla recommends spacing them 36-60″ apart.

  • Julie Romano

    I live in Scotland and I have my bougainvilla in the conservatory, I have noticed that there is small brown spots with a reddish brown colour circling the spots on the leaves I have been doing what the care instructions tell me, please help?

    It sounds like a leaf spot disease which is tan with reddish margins and caused by a fungus or bacteria. It’s difficult to say which one. High humidity, overhead watering are usually the culprit.
    Remove the infected leaves and give the plant more air circulation so that it can dry out. http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/enpp/pathology/pathcirc/pp343.pdf

  • W Brown

    I have just been given a Bougainvillea About four feet high which deer have munched quite a bit off. Can I cut it down by about half as it will be going in a pot outside my front door in full sun. It will require repotting as it was removed from a huge pot and not doing well. I live in the south of British Columbia so the weather is quite mild. (So far)

    Yes, hard pruning (up to 1/2) can be done in spring before new growth starts. It can also be pruned after flowering and pinched during the growing season to shape the plant. The pruning will also help the plant adjust when its repotted.

  • Dee

    I live in Athens Georgia and have just purchased 4 hanging boug. baskets. The temps are supposed to go down to 44 and 42 the next couple of nights. Should I bring the baskets into the garage or will they be OK in those temps? I don’t want them to lose their blooms - they are beautiful right now and we are having warms days.

    Don’t tempt fate. At 44F, bougainvillea will survive but the flowers may drop off. Store them in the garage until the weather warms up.

  • Claire

    I have a pink bougainvillea but i live in Glasgow, Scotland. the Weather is normally cold and wet. I do not have a garden but my kitchen gets allot of sunlight. It was fine for a week but the pink leaves are falling off. any ideas of what i should do??

    HI Claire
    I need a bit more info. Is this a new plant that you just recently purchased?

    Yes. only had it about 2 weeks now. its quite small but had a bunch of pink flowers at the top and the bottom. all of the bottom flowers have fallen off and a few of the top ones. i live in a flat so there is no option of me putting it outside.

    Hi again
    The problem is that bougainvillea needs lots of sun(6-8 hrs) and warmth to bloom and thrive. It was most likely grown in a perfect greenhouse environment and now is in a lower light and cooler climate. It is adjusting to this new environment by dropping its flowers. Frankly, it will be a challenge to it grow indoors as they thrive much better if allowed an outdoor summer vacation. Keep it in the sunniest window, let it dry out between waterings(don’t overwater) and fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer. I hope it proves me wrong and grows magnificently.

  • Ronna

    I have a bougainvillea that is a couple of months old, showing new growth, but with the new leaves have black spots (small black raised dots, looking like bugs), as well as beige colored flakes sprinkled all over the stamen and leaves???? What is it?

    Can you scrape off the “raised dots” if so, you may have scale. Black spots can also be a leaf spots.

    Yes, and they are definitely tiny bugs. When I scraped them, they came off easily and are dark green, but also there are light green ones, which I couldn’t detect until I scraped them off.

    It sounds like scale. The lighter ones are juvenile stage which are difficult to detect. You should also have some sticky residue on some of the leaves or stems. See scale for treatment suggestions.

    I have 2 Bougainvillea vines in red that are about 4 feet tall. I originally was going to train them to be on a trellis, but cannot do that. Can I train them to be bushes and use in the landscape that way? Thank you

    Yes, they can be trained to grow bushy. The best time for heavy pruning ( cutting off 3/4 of the plant) is late fall or early spring. You can trim it throughout the growing season especially after the blooming cycle.

  • Melissa Hebert

    I live in Dallas and have a beautiful fuschia boug that I take in the garage every winter. It bounces back in the spring and looks great all summer. This spring it was magnificent until the first hot day in the low 90s. Knowing it needs to be a bit stressed, I was watering every 2 days and had given it 3-month food about a month ago. (It also sits in direct sun.) After the first hot day (when several of my petunias wilted and died), it dropped all of its flowers. It still has leaves. Will it bloom again? What can I do to prompt more blooming? Is this normal?

    Hi Melissa
    To much of a good thing can also be stressfull. Your bougainvillea couldn’t cope with a sudden heat and sun and dropped its flowers. Also keep in mind that stressing it is keeping it root-bound and letting the plant dry-out between watering. Too much water will encourage more foliage instead of flowers. It may stop blooming for a few weeks but should begin to rebloom on new growth.

  • Sheridan Sansegundo

    I live in Mexico and have various different bougainvilleas. I have discovered that they are all infected by thrips, as are most other bougainvilleas in neighboring gardens. How can I get rid of them and will they kill the plants? Sheridan Sansegundo

    HI Sheridan
    Thrips will suck the juices out of flowers and new leaf shoots. They are attracted to blue flowers and can transmit viral disease. Other than disfiguring the plant it should not kill a healthy plant. To monitor for thrips, hang blue-colored sticky traps by the plant. Yellow traps will also work by are not as effective.
    A spray that contains spinosad (Conserve) is a biologically,safe organic insect killer which you can spray directly on the flowers and leaf buds. It works by contact and by injestion and will not harm most beneficial insects or predatory mites.
    A systemic such as Orthene will give you long term control. Orthene is not environmentally friendly since it will kill all insects even beneficial ones.Extreme caution should be used during application.

  • Anna

    Hi. I have the red/pink bougainvilleas and purple that I bought at the same time. I’ve transplanted the 1 red and 1 purple plant into one pot. Red one seems to be doing well but the purple one’s leaves and flowers all dried off. I pruned it until I saw green, on the base, I see a few tiny leaves but that’s it.

    What should I do at this point?
    I also have planted a red one and purple one in the ground a couple of feet from each other. Again, the purple one doesn’t seem to be doing well at all, I cut it down to about 4 inches from the ground. The red one seemed to be be growing some leaves and flowers, now they’re gone and no more has come up so far. I bought peat moss and dug about an inch and placed some, then put dirt on top of that. I noticed that when I water, the water seems to stand for less than a minute before getting into the dirt/soil. Please help. Want to save my bougainvilleas.

    Hi Anna
    Bougainvillea will sulk after transplanting and will take time to readjust and put on new growth. They don’t like their roots disturbed and are in transplant shock.
    They also need well-drained soil and will not tolerate soggy soil. I’m not sure that they are in the best soil. If your soil doesn’t drain well then you may have to plant it in a raised bed. It sounds like the red boug is hearthier than the purple one and since both are in the same container, the red one will dominate and outgrow the purple one.

  • natalie

    I received a boug hanging basket for mothers day and it was beautiful then. But, it hasn’t had many new blooms. Just a bunch of long spindly branches with old spiky shoots on them. Do I cut the whole branch back, or just the spikes?

    Hi Natalie
    It may be that your bougainvillea basket is not getting enought sun or fertilizer to bloom. They are heavy feeders and can use 1/2 strength balanced fertilizer every two weeks. Keep the plant slightly on the dry side- the stress will encourage it to bloom. Since bougainvillea bloom on new growth, cut the spindly branches up to a 1/3 or pinch back the spiky shoots lightly to promote new growth and additional bloom. After pruning, it should rebloom within a few weeks.

  • Jann Mays

    In the postings, it is suggested using 1/2 strength fertilizer to boost growth of the bracts/flowers on Bougainvillea. At one point, 10-10-10 was noted and at another 20-20-20 was noted. So, does this mean taking a 20-20-20 solution and dilute it by half according to the package directions? ie, 1/2 t instead of 1 t to gallon of water? Thanks.

    Yes, a 20-20-20 formula is twice as potent as the 10-10-10.

  • Tammy Seaquist

    I live in northeastern Oregon and purchased a bougainvillea and the leaves are yellowing and falling off. The blooms are beautiful. What do I do? Thank you

    Hi Tammy
    You may be overwatering the plant. It likes to be on the dry side. Other symptoms of leaf drop are under-watering,m low light and cold temperatures.

  • La Tanya

    I have 2 bougs vines on each post of my pergola, in late spring they were doing great beautiful dark green leaves and loads of fuschia blooms, now one of the vines is doing bad, it’s leaves are turning yellow and no blooms. I live in zone 9 and they get full sun. I water and feed both of them the same. I have loam soil over the clay. Why is one of them doing bad? Thank you

    Hi La Tanya
    Yellowing leaves can indicate too much water. My guess would be that since the soil is loam over clay there may be a drainage problem. When the roots grow and reach further down into the soil, they may be in the clay soil that has a tendency to retain water. It may be that one side of the pergola has more clay than the other. Try watering less and make sure your fertilizer includes micronutrients such as magnesium and iron which are common defieciencies that can also cause new growth yellow leaves. For older yellow leaves give the plant epsom salt 1-2tsp/gal of water.

  • John Etling

    I received an old Bonsai Bougainvillea today and when it was unpacked, found only a few (under 5) leaves attached. The entire tree, save the 5 leaves is bare. It is mid-summer here in SW PA. I watered the plant and placed it in a moderately sunny location. What do I need to do to promote new leaves, if anything.

    Hi John
    Bougainvillea will drop its leaves in low light. The sunny location and moderate watering will encourage new growth. When you see new growth fertilize it every 10 days to two weeks with a hibiscus fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) with micronutrients. Follow directions on the package.

  • Deb

    i have a boug tree & want to transplant to another location in the yard, when is a good time of the year to do this? It is on the south side now,but does not get enough sun,I want to put it on the north side where it will get more sun.

    Hi Deb
    It needs full sun to bloom best. The best time to move this tropical plant is in the spring before new growth starts or in the fall when its done blooming or goes dormant. Take care when moving it, the delicate fibrous roots don’t like to be disturbed and are easily damaged.

  • Rebeca Gregoire

    I brought two very small Bougainvillea plants back to Massachusetts with me, planted them in full sun, in a large pot, and gave them some plant food and a little manure. They have grown like crazy in two months, and are nearly ten times their original size with huge, lush, dark green leaves. The problem is that there is not a single fuschia flower on it. It’s growing so well, but why no flowers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your bougainvillea is soo happy with all those nutrients that it grows and grows but does not want to make flowers. Its possible that it has too much fertilizer and water. They also like to be pot-bound before blooming. To get them to bloom- keep them on the dry side , let it dry-out close to the point of wilting between water and don’t fertilize. Hopefully, it will stress them enough to bloom.

  • Judy K

    Hi, I’m living in the San Francisco Bay Area and have a lovely energetic bougainvillea just outside my livingroom windows. I want to train it into a tree form. The previous owner of my house planted it so that its base is only a few inches from the house and it’s between 2 windows with only about 1 1/2 feet of space between them (the 2 windows). The plant is about 8 feet high. I’ve cut all lower branches to encourage growth above the windows, but it has become top-heavy; it flops over and away from the house and smothers my garden plants. I’ve resorted to propping it up with an above-ground stake, but…. I’ve heard that staking it (sinking posts at its delicate roots) could damage and kill it, and wooden stakes would rot. I can’t find anyone who knows what to do other than drill braces into my stucco house walls to support it, but that would compromise the integrity of the exterior of the house to rain. Any ideas?

  • Deborah

    I bought a bougainvillea and live in Vancouver, BC Canada. Can I leave it outside for the winter? We do not have harsh winters but they get cold. How could I leave it outside for the winter?

    Hi Deborah
    Bougainvilleas are hardy in zone 9-11 sometimes zone 8. It will tolerate temperatures as cool as 30-40 degrees for a short period of time but will need protection. During a cold spell it will drop all its leaves or worse freeze and die. If you want to leave it outdoors, plant it on the south side of the house and cover it with 4-6 inches of mulch for the winter and hope it survives. You can also store the plant dormant in a garage .

  • Lynne B.

    I live in San Diego CA and have 3 boug vines espaliered on a wall. They are 30 yrs. old. For the past 2 years the central plant has dropped its leaves, new growth appears, then drops while immature. The leaf surface appears ‘bumpy’. The adjacent plants are healthy and vigorous. We sprayed with Spinnosad. Deep watered. No joy. To break this cycle we recently cut the plant back to bare trunks. Any idea what is happening?

    Hi Lynne
    You might want to examine the “bumps” on the leaves closer. Can they be scraped off? If so, your bougainvillea may have scale which may need several treatments

    .

  • Lynne B.

    Thanks for the feedback. Not scale. The leaves are thin and slightly ‘wavy’, they lack substance and retain the light green/bronze of new growth instead of darkening and maturing. Rather as if the plant is unable to create healthy leaves. Invisible sucking insect or a virus? Lynne

    Hi Lynne
    It’s hard to say what the problem is. My guess would be either a virus or a nutrient deficiency. Give the plant a light feeding of a balanced fertilizer with micronutrients included. It may help alleviate the problem.

  • Matthew

    I live in Palm Springs, CA (desert) with no gardening experience. I just returned from a two week trip. Most of my boug’s new growth leaves have been munched. Also, there is some fine webbing on some leaves and there was a lot of black soot on the pavement below. I haven’t detected bougainvillea looper when I looked close, but that’s what it probably is. Can you confirm? I didn’t know if it was something else because of the webbing and all the black soot on the ground. Thanks.

    Hi Matthew
    It does sound like the bougainvillea looper . Look underneath the leaves. They feed at night and hide during the day camouflaging as stems. The black “soot” is looper excrement and webbing is when they pupate and turn into moths. BT works on young caterpillars and Spinosad is more effective on adult caterpillars.

  • Michelle Young

    I live in Colorado and was given a Boug hanging plant in May. It lost all of it’s leaves and flowers, but came back incredibly beautiful throughout the entire summer. Now there are white spots on the pink flowers. They just look like colorless areas on the flowers. What could this be? Also, I would love to keep it alive throughout the winter in this area, what would I do?
    Michelle in Greeley, Colorado

    Are you overhead spraying the flowers with water? Are the spots fuzzy? Are the spots turning brownish? Are they just on the flower bracts and not the leaves?

  • el filar

    I live in southwest florida. When should I prune, fertilize and water the bougainvillea ? Thank you.

    The best time to prune your bougainvillea is right after flowering or at the start of the rainy season. They can take light pruning all season long. Major hard pruning should be in the spring. You can feed it with a 1/2 strength ferilizer such as 20-20-20 or high bloom fertilizer like Hibiscus food every month if grown in a container or give it light feedings 3x are year. Careful not to overfertilize esp. Nitrogen or you won’t get flowers. Keep your plant slightly on the dry side to promote blooming. The soil should not be soogy and allowed to dry before watering again especially in winter.

    I need help!

    I recently replanted two bouganvillea’s from a pot into the ground in my Los Angeles garden. There were two plants in the same pot which I separated and planted in different spots. After a week in the ground neither are looking very happy and I’m worried I damaged the root ball’s when replanting them. I’m hoping there is something I can do to rescue these???? Any help would surely be appreciated - It is so sad seeing these once bountiful plants looking so droopy…. Thanks in advance.
    Charlie

    Hi Charlie
    Give them a little more time. Your bougainvilleas are going through transplant shock and need time to heal. Disturbing the roots and perhaps a different light exposure is enough to cause the plants to wilt. The damaged roots need to rebuild so that they can send up moisture to the leaves. Best thing you can do at this time is to give the plant a little shade and prune back the stems by at least 1/3 that way the roots will have less foliage to support. Once it stops sulking it should start to put on new growth.

  • Charlie

    Thank you - Will try both of those things. Sun umbrella’s are going up for my sensitive bougainvilleas.

  • Linda

    I purchased a small bougainvillea plant during the early spring, it is blooming and grown very well as a container plant; however, I live in Zone 7. Since it is quite a large pot I am reluctant to to move it to my garage. Do you have any alternative ways that I can frost proof it instead?

    HI Linda
    To winterize your bougainvillea just like mandevilla: They tolerate temperatures 30-40 F and then will drop their leaves and go dormant. Wrap the container with insulation and cut the plant back by 1/2 if needed. Once the leaves fall will off after a frost, mulch the top of the soil(4″) to protect the roots. Survival will depend on the severity of cold temperatures.

  • Adina

    Hello,
    I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and I have a beautiful Bougainvillea that I planted about one and a half years ago. It had blooms on it when I planted it. It has grown over eight feet high and vines over beautifully, lush and healthy. It has not bloomed since the initial flowers fell off. My neighbor has the same colored Bougainvillea and it blooms a lot. I know that they do not like much water, so the only water it gets is when it rains, which it does a lot during our rainy season (but still does not bloom during the dry season). I cannot understand why mine and my neighbor’s are both outside, get the same rain, but mine does not bloom. I love the color and planted it with love to bloom. Please help!

    HI Adina
    Perhaps your bougainvillea is getting too much love. They bloom better under stressfull conditions (dry). Wet conditions will stimulate lots of green growth and no flowers. It may be getting less sun than your neighbor’s bougainvillea . Your soil may be too rich with nutrients or not drain as well(holding moisture longer) as your neighbors. Too much fertilizer or nutrients will produce more green growth and no flowers. When fertilizing - use a high-bloom fertilizer (higher phosphorus). Bougainvillea bloom on new growth try cutting it back in the spring before new growth starts to stimulate blooming. If all fails ask your neighbor what she/he is doing.

  • Dave Crombie

    We have a villa in the Algarve, Portugal where there is a beautiful purple mature (at least 20 years old) bougainvillea .
    This year the leaves have developed a white sticky powder and many of the branches appear lifeless, it is a sorry sight.
    Has anyone come across this problem and is there a solution.

    Hi Dave
    It’s possible that your bougainvillea has powdery mildew that caused the white powder. In addition if you have clear sticky areas then check for insect infestation such as scale.

  • Lucy

    Wintering bougainvillea

    Hi I live in Albuquerque, NM and have three beautiful bougs. All are quite big and are planted in large pots. I’ve heard about taking them in for the winter so they won’t freeze. So my question is, do I just store them in my garage (zero light) until spring or do they need light during their dormant period? Thanks for your help!

    Hi Michele
    You can store your bougainvillea in the garage. When you stop watering the plant, it will drop its leaves and induce dormancy. It does not need light during this time. Check the soil about once a month for moisture and water lightly just enough to keep it from drying out completely. Bougainvillea can tolerate dry soil more than other wintering tropicals so err on the dry side. Once temperatures warm up and danger of cold has passed, it will begin to sprout. Move the plant outdoors to sun, prune unruly branches or to shape the plant and fertilize.

  • Theresa

    I live in Los Angeles and was just gifted with a potted bougainvillea . I want to put in the ground, but I’m not sure when. One (SoCal focused) book said June, but it seems that after the danger of frost would be okay to plant? I am worried about keeping it in a small pot for too long.

    Hi Theresa
    Plant your bougainvillea after all danger of frost has passed in your area and night time temperatures are in the low 50’s.

  • Sharon Bertsch

    I live in Florida and have a beautiful bougainvillea that is planted in the ground ..it was so woody and too big so I had it pruned back to about 4 inches and its starting to get good growth but I would like to train it to be more tree like than bushy..please advise..thank you Sharon

    It is a slow process and may not be easy with an older well established plant. To train bougainvillea into a tree form, you will need to choose a healthy thick branch and elliminate all others. The roots will channel all nutirents to the main stem. Train(wire) the branch to grow up on a straight pole and trim away any new growth that may sprout on the main stem leaving only the top growth. You can also pinch the top growth to attain a bushier shape. You will have to cut away any additional sprouts that the plant will send out from the ground.
