Bougainvillea has been used as an ornamental plant since the 17th century, when it was introduced from the Caribbean region of South America to Europe and Asia by Spanish explorers who brought it back from their travels.
Irrigation
The soil for a bougainvillea should be moist when you water it, but not wet. Their roots need oxygen to live, so avoid overwatering and make sure excess moisture drips from the bottom of the pot. In spring and summer, water a bougainvillea once or twice a week, and in fall/winter, water
Pruning
Plants under potted bougainvillea need support like any other plant. Trimming their new growth in the spring will help keep them compact and promote long-term health.
Bloom
The key to increasing flowering is to plant bougainvillea in a pot that slightly restricts the roots to full sunlight and avoids overwatering. Bougainvilleas bloom best when their roots are somewhat attached to the pot and when they are watered regularly.
If your plant is in a warm, humid location with adequate water and nutrients, it can grow very well.
Fertilization
The most important soil characteristic when growing bougainvillea is that the soil drains well rather than being very fertile. If there is too much nitrogen in the soil, more leaves and fewer flowers grow.
It is important to stop feeding your annuals during the summer months, as they grow more luxuriously with excessive fertilization. This can result in softer, more vulnerable growth that is especially susceptible to cold weather damage.
