I think I finally identified my indoor tree that used get get berries and now has flowers as a Bougainville!! It has begun to flower all over. We’ve had it for almost a decade it was purchased unlabeled. Light pink blooms starting. I’m moving it outdoors now that I know what she is finally!! She’s always been prized and glorious but what?!?! I have a one of these incredible trees growing in Ohio?? 😂 it survived us not even knowing who she was!! Now she is going to flourish. We no doubt lived and learned and listened to her to have her survive us this long. Can’t wait to give her the proper care now!!!
Your place and plants are beautiful! I got mine in a large pot going on 3 years now. I added some mulch and in spring I feed it some miracle grow. It’s blooming again but I got a little bee, or something eating the pretty blooms 😤 gonna find the video you mentioned about that. I’m in Vegas so we have pretty similar sizzling heat. Thanks and many blessings ❤️
Hi - Thank you! Hh the sizzling heat; plus we have a major wildfire burning at the moment here. Here's the post w/the video: www.joyusgarden.com/eating-my-bougainvillea-leaves/ Nell
Nell, hi, I'm a subscriber from Lake Charles, LA. You're now living in Tuscon, AZ, right. I'll bet it's a lot drier there than Santa Barbara! I wanted to comment not on the bougainvillea, but that gorgeous "organ pipe" cactus at the beginning of the video. What a magnificent beauty! I'm sure under your watchful eye, it will thrive. Thanks for the video. A nice bougainvillea will be my next plant among the many I already have. You should aquire a "traveler's palm". They're magnificent and gorgeous. You'd probably have to grow it under shade cloth in Tuscon, however. The hot sun might scorch it. Do a UA-cam search for it to see what I'm talking about. That's all for now. Happy gardening! 🪴🌵
My plant was full of leaves over the winter ( inside ) I moved outside for summer. Leaves are yellowing from tips and then browning. I thought overwatered from rains? It does have new growth on tips and is starting to flower
Nell, thanks for this wonderful video. When planting bougainvillea in pots, do you make cuts in the grow-pot and plant that directly into the new, larger pot? Or is that method only for when you plant bougainvillea in the ground?
Hi. I live in New Jersey and have a beautiful potted bougainvillea tree. How can I take care of this in the winter months so I can continue to enjoy this in spring again?
I live in central Pennsylvania. I acquired my first potted bougainvillea this spring. It had a great summer with lots of full hot sun with daily watering. Our winters get very cold for several months. I am hoping to be able to winter it for next year. What are the chances it will survive if it is kept in an enclosed breezeway, protected from the elements, with infrequent watering.?
Hello Nell! I have been watching your house plant videos every day this past week and I have learned so much! Thank you for doing what you do. Is there any way I can purchase your house plant book? I found your kindle version but I would like the book please if that is possible. Thank you.
Hi Heather - Thanks for watching!! It's sold only ebook form only right now. I've had quite a few people ask so maybe we'll look into print on demand. More houseplant videos on the way! Nell
Please help. My bracts look a bit transparent right after they open and then the tips turn brown. Have you had this problem? She is in a plastic well draining pot. She is not root bound. She blooms profusely so watering is good. I only fertilize about every 2 months as recommended on my special Bougainvillea food.
If I planted a bougainvillea in Michigan (Southeast metro Detroit area), would it come back in the spring or would the cold and winter completely kill it? Thanks!
JS...,I have potted bougainvillea and I live in Michigan also ! You can overwinter them in the house and they will do wonderful when you put them back outside with a little care in the spring.

I’ve just subscribed to your channel, Nell! Thank you for your tips! I’ve lives in Italy and Southern Cal, now in Vacaville CA where it gets hoooot! 🥵 I’m hoping the 9 5-gallon plants all do well. I’m sure they’ll be fine as long as I follow your instructions. My only question is I would like to plant some in front of my house; it faces West so it doesn’t get a lot of sun until after noon. My house is kinda tall and narrow which I’m afraid, will block sun from reaching it and it may not get as much sun as required to maximize bloom. Although I’d like to plant some in front but should I just concentrate on the backyard?

Your garden is so beautiful!
I'm in Florida and may get one in a container.
That orange one up against your white stucco is so pretty.
The lower growing ones are much easier to maintain in a container. Yes, Rainbow Gold is a beauty. Nell
Wow! So beautiful in so many ways💕 Thank you for sharing Joy, it's always so great to see you 🦋
Well, thank you! The heat has set in this bougainvillea is filling in like crazy. Nell
I live in the Phoenix AZ area, and am so glad I found this video
I live in SC and mine are in hanging baskets so I put them in my carport in winter and they are 5 yrs old and doing great.
I love your bougainvillea plants 🥰
Thank you! So do I, the hummingbirds & the bees. Nell
Los que hablan espanol deberian apuntar en el chat, sus consejos :D
Preciosa planta .....muy buenas sugerencias....Gracias
Gracias - & de nada! Nell
Great information 👍
Thanks
I am from India

Where can I see a list of them. I bought red one, but no label.
I love your Lilly outfit 😁
Hi, have you ever heard of watering potted bougies with black tea leftover (slightly acidic ph 5-6.5)?
Can you do a video on making a Bougainvillea, into a standard tree ? And does Bougainvillea prefer acid or Alkaline soil ?
I fertilize mine with pig poop from my mini pig
I've never used pig poop. If it works, then why not! Nell
Lol!
Love that big cactus 🌵
Don’t know if I can grow that in Arkansas
You totally could!

I’m wondering this too….it has not bloomed any leaves yet
Such a beautiful plant I don't have one. I do enjoy seeing yours thrive so well. Thanks for sharing love
hi - Always happy to share the plant love! My Monstera is very happy; especially in its new pot. hugs, Nell

Hi, I want mine to grow about 8-9ft. What size pot should I get?
Nell, Can you do a Video, for Beginners, who wish to make there Bouganvillea, into a Standard Tree? Step by Step ?

Bougenville super Ok 👍
How about in raining days?
I can listen to you talk all day ☀️
Very good content 👍
Love you videos
What type of cactus are you standing by. Is it that a south exposure.
How often do you fertilized or add compost to your Bonggainvillea?
Are u saying that we should trim new branches?
If I planted a bougainvillea in Michigan (Southeast metro Detroit area), would it come back in the spring or would the cold and winter completely kill it?
Thanks!
My guess would be that it would not last winters outside. You’d probably want to bring it inside when it drops colder than 32.

What kind of cactus is that?
How can I get my bougainvillea to grow more branches?
Hi Kat - Depending on the size of your plant, tip pruning is the best way to encourage branching & filling in. Nell
JoyUsGarden thank you! Love all you bougainvilleas

Great plants but one question what are Pac rats are they actually rats I've never heard of rat eating bouganvilla
Actually, bougainvillea’s are often targeted by rats. They’re perfect for rat nest.

Darn! Watched this whole video to see how to prune this and you didn't do it.
