It is known for its vibrant bracts and dense green foliage. Bougainvillea has small, inconspicuous flowers surrounded by colorful bracts. The bracts can come in various colors, including red, pink, purple, orange, and many others. This makes them highly popular for garden and landscape decoration. Bougainvillea can be a climbing plant, a shrub, or even a small tree, and it is easily shaped through pruning. In gardens, it is commonly trained as a shrub.

Soil for bougainvillea 

Bougainvillea is typically grown in soil with a pH range of 5.5-6.5. This range is considered slightly acidic to neutral, which allows the plant to efficiently absorb a wide range of nutrients. If the soil pH is too low or too high, it can hinder the proper uptake of nutrients by the plant and lead to growth and development issues as well as potential disease susceptibility.

The soil for Bougainvillea should be light, nutrient-rich, and well-draining, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. The soil for flowers GREENODIN garden soil is ideal in structure, but needs acidification at the rate of 25 g per liter of fertilizer GREENODIN BROWN.
