There are a number of different types of bonsai trees available, but the bougainvillea bonsai is considered the one with the most differential character. The bougainvillea bonsai is a popular houseplant, and by nature it is a climbing plant, which can grow to be as large as four meters. The proper caretaking of the bougainvillea bonsai is an issue of great importance as regular maintenance is essential for keeping your bonsai healthy and looking its best.
Taking Care of a Bougainvillea Bonsai
Issues such as lighting, watering, temperature, feeding, repotting, and styling, are all of great significance and importance in regards to the bougainvillea bonsai. As for lighting, this type of bonsai likes to be in full and direct sunlight, however like all bonsais you must be careful to not let the sun burn the rather delicate leaves of the plant. In regards to temperature settings, the bougainvillea is an evergreen species, which means that in colder climates it will become deciduous. This type of bonsai should be kept at a temperature of 49 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit if possible, and never below 45 degrees.
When it comes to watering, the bougainvillea bonsai likes it dry for the most part, in that it only needs to be watered sparingly. However, during the flowering period, the bonsai will require an increased amount of water. The recommended feeding for this bonsai ranges from every week to 10 days to two weeks. You should basically be able to tell whether or not your plant needs more feeding. In terms of repotting the plant, you should do so every two to four years, with the best time to do so being in spring, before new growth, although early fall is a reasonable time as well. In regards to the styling of the bougainvillea bonsai, this can be done basically at any time, but if you are hoping for flowers, you should avoid pruning all of the roots.
These bonsais flower most heavily in winter and early spring, with a few that will put forth scattered clusters all year round. The colors are usually found in tones of purple, lavender, carmine, scarlet, red, pink, orange, yellow and white. Single and double forms are available, with the double forms tending to carry their blooms near the end of the stems, rather than distributing them evenly over the plant.
