About Bougainvillea Torch Glow
Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis) is an evergreen, dwarf shrub-type from the Nyctaginaceae family, popular for its long-lasting, colourful flower bracts that appear through most of the year. Torch Glow is a rare shrub-type bougainvillea, dwarf in nature, that suits pots and small gardens - it doesn't need the heavy care of larger bougainvillea varieties.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight - flowering depends heavily on sun exposure.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water sparingly, only when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry - a little water stress encourages more flowering.
Planting & Placement
Grows in a small to medium pot, or as a spot shrub, hedge, or screen. Handle the root ball carefully when transplanting - bougainvillea has few, fine roots and can die if the ball breaks.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based feed encourages more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular pruning after flowering keeps its shape; avoid planting near trees, as vigorous shoots can climb and take over.
Flowering
Starts flowering within a year of purchase and blooms almost year-round with bright pink-magenta bracts.
