2 years ago I watched this video when the covid started and i left the city and returned to my village and gardening became my hobby and this monsoon i planted 20+ different varieties of Bougainvilleas...3 (pink, red & white) even bloomed this summer which I had planted last year 😀
I have a bougainvillea with long branches we call Scarlatina. I use a hook with expandable pole. This tool used to be able to cut limbs from tall trees using a rope that you pull to cut it.
Thank you for your lovely video! I live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and last summer bought 2 potted bougainvilleas that I as the thriller in containers (just petunias at base). I live in a very sunny house and decided to bring them in for the winter as an experiment. They have done better than I expected and basically flowered all winter - In about mid may I will be able to put them outside again after risk of a freeze. I have just given them a good trim (inspired my you) so maybe they will explode again this summer!
Thanks! I have trained older plants though it gets harder if the branches get stiff. In that case, it requires being more gentle and patient and taking it step by step (some pruning, then tying). Hope that helps.
I think you're so cute! Nice Video! Are you by chance in the SF Bay Area? I'm going to plant 5 new Bougainvillea in some large Containers today!!! Hope I can gets blooms like yours!!! ; )
Your garden looks very nice ...I am from Nepal 🇳🇵 I think my bougenvelia is overgrown, it has less flowers more leaves. Is this a season to prune it or shall i give it a shape 🤔 🤔🤔
Thanks! Yes, light pruning might help. Also, the plant loves sunlight, so if it doesn’t get enough of that it may not flower. Good luck with the plant. 👍🏽
Beautiful plants. Most of us want 101 level help. You assume we know what a leaf node looks like. Most of us don't know anything at all. That's why we look at videos. Get in close. Show a proper location for cuts. Don't assume we know anything.
Thanks for the feedback. In retrospect I should have shown more details. Maybe, will do another video when my bougainvilleas are ready for another pruning.
Thank you for your lovely video! I am new to looking after my magenta bougainvillea, there are 5 shoots growing above the fence line. How do i prune the shoots, get them to flower, and keep them just above the fenceline and not over extend upwards? 🤔
Glad it helped! If you could get a small starter bougainvillea plant or a cutting locally, there is a good chance it will grow well. All the best on your new garden 🪴 ✨
@@nehainthebay I did visit all the nurseries around my house. But none of them seemed to have red or orange, which I preferred. It seems they are in high demand. But yes, I'll keep looking, thank you Nehaji.
May i ask. Which insect repellant do u need to use if the plant is attack by the small insects? Mine is so neglected that its leaves curl up and not blooming for years..
Bougainvilleas are pretty hardy if they get enough sunlight, so maybe that’s the problem. In case there are insects, neem oil might help as a repellent. Hope that helps your plant bloom.
Fortunately it doesn’t freeze where I live, so I don’t have to do anything special. I believe if your bougainvilleas are forced to see freezing temperatures, covering the plant as much as possible and protecting the roots with mulch might help. If they are in containers, bringing them inside could help as well.
I have a bougainvillea that is a tree. It is pretty but is overgrown significantly. By the way, I just bought the house so I don't know how long it took to get in this condition. There are many different branches/trunks at the bottom. Is it okay to cut either the smaller ones or bigger ones away? Which would you cut and why?
I love all kinds of bougainvilleas! We now have 3 climbers that I planted and 2 that were already planted. In my experience, bougainvilleas can withstand heavy pruning. However, I prefer cutting smaller and dead branches regularly. If you have to cut the big stems, it may be better to leave several inches above the ground so they regrow. I prefer starting with smaller branches and going inwards as that gives a better idea of how much to cut. If I get too zealous about cutting the big ones, the shape gets altered and then I have to retrain the plant to desired shape. Hope this helps!
@@AARAB78 based in my experience with my bougainvilleas, the less I fuss over them the happier they are 🙂. Generally, trimming them every now and then should suffice for their bloom. Thanks again for watching!

I like the look before you prune... It gives more natural and colorful look
Thank you! I'm visiting my granny and she has, massive bougainvilleas- some are as old as me, 36!
Wow! She must be taking very good care of the plants.

What are the different variety and how to choose the right variety of bougainvillea
Thanks a lot. I was about to start my own garden. Would you please send me a bougainvillea cutting please. I really liked the orange one.
Glad it helped! If you could get a small starter bougainvillea plant or a cutting locally, there is a good chance it will grow well. All the best on your new garden 🪴 ✨

indians every where in every field🌹
You amazing ai love you
Love the light pink one can I ask you the name of that color? 💕 Thank you !
I believe the light pink one is called “imperial delight”. Love it too!
When I trim mine I wear LONG sleeve clothes because of the thorns
May i ask. Which insect repellant do u need to use if the plant is attack by the small insects? Mine is so neglected that its leaves curl up and not blooming for years..

Can we Bougainville trimming done in November December month of winter ?
Yes absolutely! Trimming it in late winter works really well. In fact, I have found that light pruning throughout the year keeps it in shape the most.
I've never seen any insects pollinate this plant..no bees, butterflies
How do you protect the plants from freezing during the winter months?
Fortunately it doesn’t freeze where I live, so I don’t have to do anything special. I believe if your bougainvilleas are forced to see freezing temperatures, covering the plant as much as possible and protecting the roots with mulch might help. If they are in containers, bringing them inside could help as well.
Nice and useful information dear👌👍. New friend here. Stay connected my friend 🙏❤
