Select a Sunny Location: Bougainvillea plants thrive in full sunlight, so choose a spot in your garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose Well-Drained Soil: Bougainvillea plants prefer well-draining soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.0. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with sand or organic matter to improve drainage. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of your bougainvillea plant. Place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Watering: Water your newly planted bougainvillea thoroughly and regularly until it becomes established. Once established, bougainvillea is drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells will promote healthy growth and flowering. Pruning: Bougainvillea plants benefit from regular pruning to maintain their shape and encourage flowering. Prune after each flowering cycle to remove dead or damaged branches and shape the plant as desired.
