I have a 15 yr old Bougainvillea that lives in a pot. I live in Indiana so it is definitely an indoor plant in the winter. I babysit in the winter with a plant light. I think 15 years in a pot is pretty good and it’s gorgeous right now

K I'll live In Jacksonville Florida. It's April and my bougainvillea is growing Leaves. I trimmed my plant. When will it flower?

I have had a purple bougainvillea for 22 years. I live in Texas and it survives the cold weather year after year. I cover it when the temperature is under 33 degrees. And I have 3 in pots and I leave them in the garage. That’s my favorite plant.

I just bought bougainvillea plant and transplanted b4 searching for care videos. Of all the videos I watched, yours was the most informative and easy to understand. Thank you!

I'm in 9B too! Thankful that I found your page

I’m so glad I found your channel. We moved from the Midwest to not far from where you’re live and so I’m new to gardening in zone 9b. Thank you for your great advice 😁

Hi Janie, I have to agree with you on growing bougainvillea. I've had several and have lost them all. We want to try again and your video was a real eye opener. Going to follow your advice and hopefully we will be successful!! Thank you!

Oh my gosh...I was killing it.. I stopped your video when you showed both sides of your bougainvillea's. Mine looked like your left side. I took the mulch off the top of it...took it out of the shade. Fluffed up the dirt and put it in my back yard in full sun..It is 100 degrees here today,,Roseville, CA. I hope I saved it. As you said it will let me know. It only has 2 flowers left. Its very green.. keeping my fingers crossed. Yours was one of the best videos I have found. Thanks so much

Glad you mention the zone you garden in. I also live in zone 9b and early this year temps dropped to 25 for a couple nights, lost several tops of plants but most resprout and now in Sept have regrown to full size.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Ma’am, your Bougainvillea is so beautiful.❤️😘God bless you.

I had taken a screen shot of a beautiful vine plant with red flowers growing out of huge planter vases and kept it because it was the idea plant I would love to grow around the colomns of the main entrace of my house in Costa Rica and because I had stumbled on your video I now know the name of the plant I screen shot 2 years ago also now even more than just the name because of your informative video. So I thank you for this valuable info I cant wait to find and plant them someday.

My grandmother had a MASSIVE bougainvillea when I was little. It was so huge that she hollowed out a walkway through the center of the plant. Two people could easily walk side by side through there with room to spare! It was incredible but I would never want to maintain it. 🤣

I enjoyed your presentation. Thanks

The problem with mentioning USDA hardiness zone but not regional differences is it only covers for cold hardiness. What works for someone in USDA zone 10 in southern Arizona where they get 100°+ nearly every single day of summer will be a lot different than what works for someone in zone 10 in Hawaii where it rarely gets over 95°. The climate for dry zone 9b in NorCal will be a lot different than zone 9b in the rainiest state in the Union (Louisiana).

Good morning. What a beautiful bougainvillea on your south wall. Looking forward to seeing the purple one once she fixes yourself out. What an amazing gardener you are turning out to be. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you for sharing! I am in zone 5a. I have my mothers 4ft tall potted bougainvillea. It really needs repotting and I am lost as to what it will need. It is crazy tough as 6 years back, I lived off the heat from my wood stove. I made sure the rootsystem never went below 65-70°F by wrapping it in a heat coil under a mylar blanket. But it did not like that treatment. Situations changed and I now have had it in my brightest West facing window in winters and on an open patio in the summers. Bougie is doing so much better! But I would still like to repot him. His present pot is falling apart and it would be better to have a shorter wider pot for stability. I prune him down by about 2/3 -1/2 of his volume in March and since he is indoors and my home is not large, I weekly snip back thorns and new growth in unwanted directions. He seems to appreciate fall fertilizing and in winter he gives me lovely holiday color. Especially if he gets a couple hours of plantlight to suppliment the lack of sunlight. I will do a big fertilizing before that March pruning. When would you suggest I attempt that repotting? Also, I have heard of cutting everything back to 3 branches of about 1 foot long over a trunk of 3 ft with a diameter on thr trunk of about 2 inches. If it could survive this, I would love to restructure him a bit. What would you suggest? Im brainstorming how to keep him happy and not have him take over my home. He is a little leggy from not having the sun you have. Thanks for any advice you might have! Sure appreciated your videos!

Sprinklers! That’s what’s over watering my plant. I totally overlooked that.

Loved your video and comments right up to your suggestion to try the 6:4:3 fertiliser and see how it goes. High N is not great for Boug’s, they need high flowering support from P and K, to produce the bracts. Hope you didn’t apply that test fert. Loved the rest.

Hi Jamie, Awesome detailed info! My very favorite plant as well. After many fails I bought a smaller size, potted it and placed it by our front door on the SOUTH side. :) So far so good! Plan is to add more as I prove my skills thanks to you! Long term goal: plant all along the south facing black rod iron fence behind our pool with success through the winter. (I’m not far from you, I’m same zone). The fertilizing is very confusing as you shared. As a new repotted plant should I stick with 10/10/10 once a month? How did the hibiscus & palm food work? 6/5/3… wondering. Thanks for the post, so appreciated!

I call them boogies 😂 yours are gorgeous. Having trouble keeping them looking beautiful .

I didn’t know Kate Hudson had a KZread channel like this! 😉

I live in zone 9A and I guess it depends on the micro climate and the soil of where you live. There are bougainvilleas in my neighbourhood that survive without any care at all, literally there's a few that are blooming and thriving on abandoned lots 😂and mine are in pots and died becuase they dried out. That's my most valued tip: the watering regime is very different for the bougies in pots! In summer I have to water every 2/3 days. Once I plant them into the ground of that neighbourhood i will not have to water at all. I also changed the fertilizer to one more specific for bougies (they said and just heard you say in the video that you can use the same as hibiscus which was not the case for the fertizer in my country). Lovely bougies you have and thanks for saying out loud that they are difficult, I have lost five little ones ! :(

This makes sense why my bougainvilleas have not done good at all! Too much water for sure. I'm going to try to move them to a spot where I don't have drip ran and see if they do better this year. Thanks for sharing!

Really informative video on Bougainvillea! I guess we are lucky that ours is alive because I didn't know anything about growing one. We tend to do "tough love" gardening, so no watering or fertilizer for ours, and technically I guess it is facing the wrong direction (northwest). The funny thing is that when we first planted it, we of course did water it, but it just sat there for YEARS not doing anything. I finally got tired of waiting for it to grow and cover up our ugly old fence, and planted a climbing rose next to it. Well, as soon as the rose took over the fence, lo and behold, there was a flowering Bougainvillea peeking through! Now it is almost as big as the rose. BTW, for those new to this plant, watch out for those wicked thorns!

In Singapore, bougainvilleas are street bushes that grow large and bushy. They are very hardy here because we have rain and heat all year round.

I live in Zone 9B - Morro Bay. My bougainvillea looks lifeless - just has branches ... no leaves or blossoms. We have not had any frost in many years, but I probably watered it too much. I will prune it back and give it some fertilizer and see what happens. Thanks for the info !!

Yes. I make it into a privacy hedge so I want to fertilize them to encourage vine growth. Flowering slows the process. Discourage blooming if you want it as a barrier hedge.

I agree with you . Beautiful but quite difficult

Thank you 🌸❤️

I live in zone 8b and I keep 4 bougainvilleas in pots. The trick here is to remember that bougainvillea do not like temps below 40° so I pull mine under the patio, string with twinkle lights and cover with a sheet. They do drop most of their leaves but quickly rebound. I never fertilize them and water sparingly. Having them in pots allows me to move them into the sun Spring thru Fall yet pull them under the porch out of the winter frost. They are so glowingly beautiful I feel like it’s well worth the effort. Oh … and my favorite is Thai Delight. It starts out lime green, then fades to creamy white with a hint of pink … gorgeous!

How do i prune the shoots, get them flowering, and keep them neatly above the fence line but not shooting high above the fence line? Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated! 🥰 😊 🥰

I live in Central Florida. I planted five bougainvillea about three feet apart from each other(NE faced). After about two years, they did not grow anything and looked super sad. They are planted right by a fence, but behind them, there are giant palms with roots everywhere; I believe one factor that they are not doing well is because of the palms' roots. I removed them for a different place, where they will receive full sun and no other roots, but they receive water from the sprinkler system, let's see what happens. A couple months ago, I planted another bougainvillea in the same direction (NE), but without other roots, no water from sprinklers, and its growing so fast.

We live in Port St Lucie West, My bougainvilleas seem to thrive on the humidity & full sun in Florida 🌞 I never water & haven't fertilized them in years.. Be careful of the big thorns, they're much longer than rose bushes & sharp I learned the hard way to wear leather gloves when trimming 😅 One word to the wise, make sure you planted them exactly where you want them in your landscaping theme because, once they do take hold, your bougainvilleas will be more difficult to move to another location in your yard 💯% Over the years, mine have become quite larger than I ever imagined and it's none of my business but I'm happy, I didn't have them planted near our sprinkler system, as they don't need the water & it could have created an issue with the roots/ layout of the sprinkler system ? I apologize if I'm overstepping 😥 It's just after many years of gardening & landscaping mistakes, this old lady does tend to over think things 🍀 Soo Good Luck & enjoy your beautiful bougainvilleas 🌞 🌺⚘️🌺

Try the Hibiscus fertilizer from Hidden Valley, ours loved it.

Very pretty flowers. You are doing a great job with them. I have 2 questions, one is which fertilizer were you using twice an year before this and you said you prune these thrice an year. How much do you prune and how often and when to pinch?
