Combo Bougainvillea (Kagoj Ful) Flower Plants - 4 Colour Pack
Product Features and Variety
This combo offers four distinct and vibrant color varieties of the popular Bougainvillea, often called 'Kagoj Ful' (Paper Flower). Bougainvillea are hardy, ornamental shrubs prized for their spectacular, long-lasting displays of color and are well-suited to flourish across various Indian climates.
- Plant Type: Flowering Shrub/Vine (Grafted).
- Colors Included: Red, Yellow, White, and Pink varieties.
- Size: 1-2 Feet Height (at time of shipping).
- Suitability: Thrives in almost all Indian climates and is excellent for ground planting, creating hedges, or container gardening.
Flower Characteristics and Blooming
The Bougainvillea's main visual attraction is not its small, inconspicuous true flower, but the brilliant, paper-like modified leaves called bracts. These bracts are what give the plant its intense coloration, offering a stunning and long-lasting display throughout the warmer months.
- Main Feature: Prolific production of brightly colored, paper-like bracts.
- Blooming: Blooms profusely and repeatedly when placed in optimal light conditions, providing color for extended periods.
Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Climate Needs
- Sunlight: Requires full, direct sunlight (a minimum of six or more hours per day) for vigorous growth and maximum flowering. Insufficient sun will significantly reduce the number of bracts produced.
- Climate: A tropical to subtropical plant that performs best in warm conditions. It is highly resilient and tolerates hot environments well.
Watering and Soil
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil. Drainage is critical, as the plant is susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions.
- Watering: Bougainvillea are notably drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but allow the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions. Slightly stressing the plant with less water encourages bract production.
- Fertilization: Fertilize during the active growing seasons to support healthy growth and blooming.
