Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea known for its captivating deep purple, white and orange blooms, is a splendid addition to any indoor setting, offering a touch of the exotic with minimal effort. This indoor variant is particularly prized for its vibrant colour and the dynamic visual interest it brings to a room, alongside notable air purification properties that contribute to a healthier living environment. Ideally positioned in spots that receive ample sunlight such as beside south-facing windows, in sunrooms, or under skylights, the 'Purple' variety flourishes, transforming spaces with its lush, colourful display.

Complementing its striking colourful blooms are the plant's green leaves, which together create a lively contrast, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any room. Bougainvillea is well-suited to indoor climbing frameworks, adding vertical interest or serving as a stunning focal point when allowed to trail from shelves or hanging baskets. When partnered with other indoor plants, especially those with lighter foliage or flowers, it helps to create a layered, richly textured indoor garden. Reaching an ultimate indoor height of around 120cm with a similar spread, this plant can be easily maintained with occasional trimming to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.

Plant Care

Position your Bougainvillea in a location bathed in bright, indirect light to mimic its natural, sun-soaked habitat, ensuring it receives at least 5-6 hours of sunlight daily. Water moderately, allowing the soil to almost dry out between watering, and feed with a high-potassium fertiliser during the blooming period to enhance flower production. It prefers warm indoor temperatures and can benefit from increased humidity, though it's generally adaptable. Avoid over-watering and ensure good drainage to keep it thriving.
