| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Common Name | Bougainvillea 'Flame' |
| Pot Size | 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches (deep shipping pot) |
| Height | 5-7 inches tall (as of May 25, 2024) |
| Light Requirements | Prefers full sun to partial shade. Thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain vibrant bract colors and vigorous growth. |
| Watering Needs | Water regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering as Bougainvilleas prefer well-draining soil and can be susceptible to root rot. |
| Humidity | Adapts to average indoor humidity levels. Higher humidity can be beneficial but is not essential for this hardy plant. |
| Soil | Requires a well-draining soil mix. A mix of potting soil with added perlite or sand ensures proper drainage and prevents waterlogging. |
| Growth Habit | Climbing or sprawling growth habit. Can be used as a climbing plant with support or allowed to trail in containers. |
| Foliage | Brilliant, flame-colored bracts with vibrant red and orange hues. Actual flowers are small and white, but the bracts provide the primary color display. |
| Maintenance | Low-maintenance plant. Regular pruning helps maintain shape and encourages more blooming. Remove dead or damaged bracts to keep the plant healthy. |
| Propagation | Can be propagated from stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water or soil to develop roots and grow new plants. |
| Temperature | Prefers warm temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts as Bougainvilleas are sensitive to low temperatures. |
| Pet Friendly | Generally considered non-toxic to pets, but it's always best to keep plants out of reach of pets that may chew on them. |
| Unique Feature | The fiery, colorful bracts make this Bougainvillea a stunning addition to any garden or indoor plant collection, providing a dramatic burst of color and interest. |
| Ideal Placement | Perfect for bright, sunny spots. Ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a container plant to showcase its vibrant bracts and trailing growth habit. |
