Bougainvillea Glabra plant is a perennial and an evergreen vine shrub.
Paperflower has climbing shrubs with thick, thorny stems and drooping branches that have a smooth surface or are sparsely hairy.
Bougainvillea is often grown as an annual or container plant. The actual flowers are small and bright, it is the colorful bracts, or modified leaves, which can be seen in all shades of orange, pink, purple, and white that attract attention.
Water the plant until liquid drips through the drainage hole, and then don’t water again until the potting mixture feels slightly dry. Allow the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil to dry out between watering, empty drainage tray to prevent soggy soil, which can lead to root rot.
However, don’t allow the soil to become completely dry because a water-stressed plant won’t bloom many flowers. Water the plant immediately if it looks wilted.
Once established, they are drought resistant. It is a woody climber with curved thorns that sprawls and needs to be tied or have a structure such as a fence, wall, or pergola for support.
Paperflowers are quintessential tropical vines, known for their drought-tolerance and lavishly brilliant flowers. They originate from tropical South and Central America, where they’re called paper flowers. Bougainvilleas are rapid growers, flowering all-year-round in the tropics and subtropics.
Give it at least 4 hours of direct sun each day. Bougies won’t bloom without enough light. Water thoroughly, and then allow the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil to dry out between watering, empty drainage tray to prevent soggy soil, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering will cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off.
