In Reply to: Bouganvilla HELP! posted by Diane on April 19, 19101 at 12:04:48:
Hi. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to landscape plants, but I can tell you this much. A Bougainvillea seems to grow best in full sun, but a shadier location is better if you're in a real hot area (doubtful for Northern Virginia!). It only needs minimal water once its established and grows very well as a vine. I have one as a hanging basket and one growing on a trellis. I don't think that it would prosper well indoors, as it seems to like direct light.
: I recently purchased a 1 gallon size Bouganvilla in bloom. I live in Northern Virginia and know absolutely nothing about this plant. Indoor/Outdoor? Full Sun? Watering? Growth habits? tree? vining? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
