Small flowers, colorful bracts: the magic of the Bougainvillea The Bougainvillea, with its small white flowers and colorful bracts, is a floral jewel from South America. These climbing shrubs bloom from spring to the end of autumn and can reach a height of up to 12 meters.

Climate and sunlight: key to optimal flowering Bougainvillea thrives best in full sunlight and blooms from spring to autumn. Frost and strong winds should be avoided, but leaf shedding in winter is normal.

The right soil for the Bougainvillea bonsai A porous and acidic soil is crucial for Bougainvillea bonsai. A mixture of Akadama with 30% Kiryu or Kanuma offers optimal conditions for healthy growth.
