Bougainvillea Pua Pua

Bougainvillea Pua Pua thrives in full sun. This variety is perfect for gardens, courtyards, and containers. It can also be used as a decorative ground cover or trained along trellises and fences. Ensure the planting location has well-draining soil and good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Bougainvillea Pua Pua prefers a warm, subtropical to tropical climate. It can tolerate light frost once established but should be protected from severe frost and cold winds. Optimal growth occurs at temperatures between 18-30°C. In cooler regions, consider growing it in pots that can be moved indoors during winter.

This Bougainvillea variety thrives in well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soils enriched with organic matter are ideal. While it can adapt to poorer soils, it will produce more vibrant blooms in nutrient-rich conditions. Ensure the soil remains moderately moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring. During the blooming season, switch to a high-potassium fertiliser to promote abundant flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers as they can result in excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Be careful not to over-fertilise, as this can damage the roots.
