Bonsai Bougainvillea
Bonsai (literally "potted plant"), is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees.
A flowering, tropical bougainvillea for bonsai has few equals, lending its complex branching to the pruning shears, which promote even more unique and graceful forms, while at the same time producing more blooms. Each BGI® Bougainvillea Bonsai arrives in an Asian-style plastic planter, grown in a specialty bonsai potting mix consisting of lava rocks and bark for maximum drainability.
Contrary to popular belief, bonsai bougainvillea are not suited for indoor culture, although many have been successful in maintaining beautiful bougainvillea indoors next to a sunny window. Remember first and foremost, a BGI® Bougainvillea Bonsai is still a bougainvillea. For optimum color and health, place outdoors in full, direct sun, keep watering to a minimum (only when needed), and stay on a monthly trimming and fertilizing schedule.
Your BGI® Bougainvillea Bonsai can remain in it's original planter for several years, bringing you much color and enjoyment for many years to come.
