How to plant Bougainvillea
Young bougainvilleas in plastic bags have very brittle root systems which are easily damaged during the planting process, resulting in a plant that struggles to thrive.
Here’s a quick and easy way to plant your Bougainvilleas :
- Place the bougainvillea plant (still in the nursery bag) in a hole in well-prepared soil.
- Make sure that the plant is at the same depth in the soil as it was in the bag.
- Carefully slit the slides of the bag vertically on four sides.
- Carefully fill the gaps that form where the slits have been made with soil, making sure that the soil around the root ball does not fall away.
- Add extra soil to firm the plant in place and water well.
There you have it – a happy and undamaged plant that is sure to provide you with beautiful blooms for years to come.
