Bougainvillea branches
Posted: October 1st, 2018, 3:28 pm
Hey all,
I’ve had my eye on a nearby bougainvillea (it’s huge, apparently took down the front of their awning when they first moved in 18 years ago - story for another time.
They were chopping some over growth off before I flew out the other week and let me grab some branches.
I quickly put it in a seasol bath for an hour and bonsai mix in a colander.
I forgot about them as they were hidden in the shaded corner when I came out to fix up a test air layer on something else (thanks Ray) I saw them.
Any tips for helping them root?
Shade until movement?
Humidity? (Tray or bag)
Dry mix or water as normal?
Any tips welcome
The good news is apparently ANY time I want I can grab branches or cuttings, it’s a love/hate with the neighbours.
