A magnificent flowering shrub that brings color to the streets of warm temperate regions. In cooler areas, bougainvillea should be grown in pots. In order to ensure its flowering, it requires a rest period in winter. To do this, simply place it in a bright and cool room (cold greenhouse, unheated veranda, on a window sill without a heater). Also, bougainvillea is very hungry for water and fertilizer .
