Care and tips Bougainvillea bush - 230cm

The most important thing to know is that the Bougainvillea should be placed in a sunny spot. People often think that the flowers of the Bougainvillea provide the beautiful colours. However, the flower itself is white; the bracts give Bougainvillea its beautiful pink/purple colour!

A tip to make this gorgeous plant even more beautiful is to neglect it a little in spring. Don't give the Bougainvillea bush much water during this period but, of course, prevent it from drying out. This 'neglect' stimulates the plant to flower even more beautifully!

Water requirements Bougainvillea bush - 230cm

The Bougainvillea shrub is a fairly thirsty plant. Especially in the summer months, the Bougainvillea shrub needs daily watering. Be careful not to water too much, because this plant hates wet feet!

This great outdoor plant is not entirely hardy and should be brought inside if the cold weather persists.

Light requirement Bougainvillea bush - 230cm

As mentioned, this beautiful shrub is a real sunbather and likes a sheltered and warm spot. The colour of the bracts will become more intense the more sunlight it gets. So if you notice that the colour dulls, look for a spot with even more (direct) sunlight.

Is the Bougainvillea bush - 230cm poisonous?

The Bougainvillea shrub is not poisonous. A good combination with pets and small children. For the time being, however, we do not recommend consuming the plant or incorporating it into food.
