About Bougainvillea Pink & White
Bougainvillea Pink & White (Bougainvillea spectabilis) is an evergreen, thorny shrubby vine from the Nyctaginaceae family, valued for its long-lasting, colourful bracts that appear periodically through most of the year. The true flower is small and white; the pink-and-white colour you see comes from the surrounding bracts.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily - shade reduces flowering.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Climate: Tolerates hot, dry conditions well; grows across most Indian climates.
Planting & Support
Provide a trellis, arch, pergola, or wall to climb on - it can reach 8-12 metres depending on the support structure. Handle the root ball gently when planting; bougainvillea has few, fine roots that are easily damaged. Allow about a month before transplanting to its permanent spot.
Care
- Watering: Water sparingly - when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Some water stress actually encourages more flowering.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer supports more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular pruning after flowering keeps the vigorous shoots in shape.
Flowering
Starts flowering within a year of purchase and blooms almost year-round, most profusely in full sun.
