Growing Conditions

- Soil: Well-draining soil, preferably sandy or loamy. Avoid heavy, clayey soils.
- Temperature: Warm temperatures, ranging from 20–30°C (68–86°F), ideal for vigorous growth.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity; not overly fussy but can thrive better with consistent moisture.
- Watering: Water regularly but ensure the soil is well-drained. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Planting & Care Instructions
- Sow Bougainvillea seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining potting mix.
- Lightly press the seeds into the soil, ensuring they are not deeply buried.
- Maintain a warm, sunny location with temperatures of 20–25°C (68–77°F) during germination.
- Once seedlings emerge, transplant them to larger pots or directly into the ground when they are large enough to handle.
- Prune Bougainvillea regularly to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
