What is Bougainvillea?
bougainvillea is a type of flowering, tropical plants in the family nyctaginaceae . Bougainvillea is assumed to be between four and 18 different species. Different plant species are official flowers of several places around the world, including cities in the Philippines and California. The French botanist reportedly found a plant in Brazil in 1768, accompanied by an explorer named Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Peru and Argentina are also considered as home homes in the plant.
The plant is no longer limited to South America. It is a popular ornamental plant in many areas that have a warm climate. Bougainvilleas can be found in places that are as diverse as South Africa, Mexico and Pakistan. These vibrant colors relate to paper bracts and not a real flower. The inner flower is almost always white.
The vines of this plant generally have spines with wax, black tips. Bougainvillea tends to be intense and generally grows between 3 and 39 feet (0.9and 11.8 meters). It often walks through the surrounding plants with thorns and can suffocate those plants that are more delicate.
It is possible to have Bougainvillea as a houseplant. The plant has a natural tendency to rise, but can be trained to live in a floor pot or suspended pot. When planted in a container, clay pots are most often recommended. Plants are likely to require annual repotting, which can be a delicate process. Bougainvilleas usually have fine roots that blend to hold the soil together.
These plants may be keen or deciduous, depending on the climate and precipitation. Bougainvillea is generally not required to water excessive watering for flower production and probably becomes best if the soil is maintained slightly dry. Re -evaluation can prevent the plant from blooming or even causing rot.
bougainvillea usually grows rourselves and can produce flowers almost all year, if the climate is warm enough and the soil is slightly moist and fertile. Freshing and pruning generally increases successful growth. The best flowers often result from branches that are kept between 18 and 20 inches (45.7 and 50.8 cm). The plant generally blooms in cycles that range from four to six weeks.
Bougainvilleas tends to do best when it is exposed to full sunlight. Because they tend to be heavy feeders, these plants are usually more successful if they regularly receive fertilizer. Some varieties require old flowers to be cut because they do not throw away so many other plants.
