Presented in an elegant broom style, the tree features a strong, woody trunk supporting a rounded canopy of finely branching growth. Its naturally characterful structure and vibrant display make it an eye-catching addition to any bonsai collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBougainvillea is best known for its brilliantly coloured bracts, which surround its small, delicate flowers. Depending on the individual tree and its stage of development, the bracts may appear in vivid shades of pink, purple, red or orange. Flowering is seasonal and is encouraged by plenty of bright, direct sunlight and consistently warm conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNative to warmer climates, Bougainvillea should be grown indoors in the UK for most of the year. It will thrive on a bright, sunny windowsill or in a heated conservatory, where it can receive several hours of direct sunlight each day. During the warmest summer months, it may be placed outdoors in a sheltered, sunny position, but it must be brought back inside well before temperatures begin to fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe broom-style canopy can be maintained through regular pruning during periods of active growth. Bougainvillea responds well to trimming, making it possible to preserve its compact silhouette while gradually developing finer branches and a fuller crown. Its vigorous growth and dramatic colour make it particularly rewarding for growers who enjoy shaping and maintaining their bonsai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBougainvillea bonsai in a 20cm bonsai pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive broom-style shape with a rounded canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacterful, woody trunk and naturally branching structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces colourful seasonal bracts in warm, bright conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest suited to a very bright, sunny indoor position in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be placed outdoors during settled, warm summer weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA striking choice for growers looking for something colourful and distinctive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for those with some previous plant or bonsai-care experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eCare Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place in the brightest and sunniest position available. A south-facing windowsill or heated conservatory is ideal.

Bougainvillea dislikes remaining constantly wet, so allow excess water to drain freely and never leave the pot standing in water for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protect from cold temperatures and frost. Keep the tree in a warm position and away from cold draughts. Avoid placing it immediately beside a radiator, as intense direct heat can dry the tree and substrate very quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a suitable bonsai fertiliser regularly throughout the active growing season, following the instructions provided with the feed.

The amount of foliage, new growth and colourful bracts present will vary according to the season and the individual tree.
