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 very colorful bracts, which can remain for several months. Bougainvilleas like full sun, they will like to be on the terrace in summer, their flowering will then be more abundant. You can water it as soon as the soil begins to dry out in summer, letting it dry out slightly in winter. This will stimulate its winter rest, as well as cool temperatures in winter, up to 10 degrees at night. Its flowering will then be more abundant. It can be pruned severely in spring, so that it keeps a more compact shape.
