Bougainvilleas. Last longer


Last year, this bougainvilleas' fragmental stem almost broke apart, what had left was just a few thin wood pieces, as if the wind could blow apart and away.

In that time its height was only approximately 120cm. When it was bought back it got red flowers, afterwards only leaves can be seen.

Friends suggested to trim and not to water much.

Methods had been tried, not bloom as ever was.

Its stem almost apart, only left it next to a big trunk as the back.



Gradually, it started to grow and climb.

Though it isn't a neat trim vine, which needs help if it is to grow against a trellis and over a pergola using strong plant ties at intervals.

Now I just let it climb up and over other plants using curved vine.


Its vivid life in air, sun and water made me very impressed from all the way it lives.
