care tips
To care for the Bougainvillea Mini Thai in Spain outdoors, it's essential to provide it with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, as this will help to promote healthy growth and prevent root rot. Additionally, regular watering and fertilization during the growing season, along with pruning to maintain a desired shape, will help to keep your Bougainvillea Mini Thai thriving and blooming profusely in Spain's outdoor climate. In winter the Bougainvillea doesn't survive with temperatures under 0 Celcius degrees.
To prune the Bougainvillea Mini Thai to maintain a round bush shape, pinch off the tips of the stems when they reach 12-18 inches tall, and then cut back the stems to about 6 inches from the ground in the spring to encourage new growth and a fuller shape. Additionally, you can also prune the stems at a 45-degree angle just above a node (where a leaf meets the stem) to encourage branching and a more rounded silhouette.
