Bougainvillea

Care Profile
The Bougainvillea Bonsai is a tropical favourite, renowned for its dramatic, vibrant floral bracts and rugged, thick bark that lends itself to beautiful, aged styling. Though highly rewarding, its absolute need for full, intense sunlight and a strict watering regimen where it must dry out slightly between soakings makes it a plant of intermediate to advanced difficulty.
