Your first year together

  1. 1Day 1

    Plant it, then water slowly until the whole root ball is soaked.

  2. 2First few weeks

    Keep the soil evenly moist while new roots settle in.

  3. 3First summer

    Water deeply during hot, dry spells.

  4. 4Next spring

    New growth starts. Feed as it wakes up.

Planting instructions
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was growing in the container. Use well-draining soil and avoid over-amending, as bougainvillea prefers slightly lean soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch lightly, keeping it away from the base of the plant.
Watering & sunlight
Water deeply once every 7–10 days during establishment; once established, water every 10–14 days, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Slightly drier conditions encourage more consistent flowering, while excess water can limit blooms. Miami Pink Bougainvillea Shrub requires full sun to produce abundant blooms and maintain strong growth. At least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal.
Care guide

PRUNING:
Prune as needed to maintain shape and size, ideally after a major bloom cycle. Light, regular pruning encourages fuller growth. Wear gloves, as branches have thorns.

FERTILIZING:
Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced or bloom-focused fertilizer. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which promote leafy growth instead of flowers. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION:
This shrub is not frost tolerant. In areas that experience freezing temperatures, protect with frost cloth or grow in containers that can be moved to a protected location.
