This woody climbing plant is often grown, with regular pruning, as a shrub in the house. It has small tube-shaped flowers, ephemeral and subtle, surrounded by three orange-pink bracts, which can remain for several months. Its variegated foliage is spectacular, offering soft green hues and yellowish cream-colored margins. Bougainvilleas like full sun, so they are ideal for placing on a terrace during the summer, their flowering will then be more abundant. During the summer season, water the soil as soon as it begins to become dry, then let it dry slightly during the winter. It can be pruned severely in spring, so that it keeps a more compact shape.
