Purple Colour Bougainvillea (Kagoj Phool) Flower Plant
Product Features and Variety
The Bougainvillea, commonly known as Kagoj Phool (Paper Flower), is a resilient, sun-loving tropical shrub or climber prized for its spectacular, long-lasting color. This variety is highly adaptable and thrives in hot, sunny conditions across almost all Indian climates and soil types.
- Variety: Purple Colour Bougainvillea.
- Type: Shrub or Climber Plant/Tree. The plant can be trained onto a support structure or maintained as a compact bush in a container.
- Size: 1-2 Feet Height.
The Flower: Vibrant Purple Bracts
The Bougainvillea's visual appeal comes from its vibrant, paper-thin structures called bracts, which surround the small, white, true flowers. The Purple Bougainvillea produces a magnificent cascade of purple bracts that cover the plant, creating a striking and long-lasting floral display, particularly during the dry, hot seasons.
Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight Needs
- Sunlight: Requires full, direct sunlight (at least 6 or more hours per day) for optimal growth and prolific flowering. Insufficient sun will result in poor blooming.
- Air Circulation: Ensure the plant is placed in a location with good air movement.
Watering and Soil
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil. A slightly acidic to neutral garden mix enriched with organic matter is recommended.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil are completely dry. Bougainvillea thrives best under slightly dry conditions, which encourages more blooms; avoid constant wetness or waterlogging.
- Fertilization: Use a high-potassium or balanced fertilizer sparingly during the growing season. Excessive nitrogen promotes leaf growth over flower production.
