FAQs
FAQs
Is Bougainvillea Thimma safe around children and pets?
The stems are thorny and the sap can mildly irritate sensitive skin, so keep pets and small children from brushing against it and wear gloves when pruning.
Why does my bougainvillea flower more when I water less?
Bougainvillea flowers more heavily under mild water stress - a little wilting between waterings is normal and even beneficial.
Can it be grown as a bush instead of a climber?
Yes - it can be kept as a stand-alone bush with regular pruning, or trained onto a support to climb.
How much sun does it need?
More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily; flowering drops off noticeably in shade.
