Information:

Appearance: Bougainvillea bonsai feature small, bright-coloured bracts surrounding inconspicuous flowers. The bracts can be pink, purple, red, orange, or white.
Size: Bougainvillea bonsai can grow up to 90cm feet in height.
Care: They require proper watering, sunlight, pruning, and occasional fertilisation to thrive.
Care Tips:
Sunlight: Bougainvillea bonsai need plenty of sunlight, preferably at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: They prefer well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but don't let the soil become soggy. In winter, reduce watering frequency.
Temperature: They prefer warm temperatures above 60°F (15°C). Protect them from frost, as they are sensitive to cold.
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the bonsai's shape and encourages flowering. Prune after the blooming period to shape the tree and remove dead or weak branches.
Training: Wire training can be used to shape the bonsai. Be gentle to avoid damaging the branches.
Fertilisation: Feed with a balanced fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to fall). Reduce or stop fertilising in winter.
Repotting: Repot bougainvillea bonsai every 1-2 years in spring, using well-draining bonsai soil. Root pruning helps maintain the bonsai's health and size.
Pests and Diseases: Watch out for pests like aphids, caterpillars, and scale insects. Treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Bougainvillea can be susceptible to fungal diseases in humid conditions, so ensure good air circulation around the plant.
Winter Care: If you live in a colder climate, consider bringing your bougainvillea bonsai indoors during winter or providing protection from frost.
Patience: Bougainvillea bonsai may take some time to adjust to their new environment or recover from pruning. Be patient and consistent with care.
By following these care tips, you can enjoy a beautiful and healthy bougainvillea bonsai in your home or garden.
