Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Scarify the seeds gently by rubbing them with sandpaper to break the hard outer shell. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.
Sowing:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix. Maintain a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) during the germination period. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination:
Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks, but can be longer. Ensure the seeds receive plenty of light, with at least 12-16 hours of sunlight or artificial light per day. Use a humidity dome or plastic cover to maintain humidity levels during germination.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and are strong enough to handle, transplant them to individual pots or directly into the garden. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 3-5 feet apart if planting in the ground.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Prune regularly to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Provide support such as a trellis or arbor if growing as a vine. Protect from frost, as bougainvillea is sensitive to cold temperatures. If necessary, move potted plants indoors or provide frost protection in the garden.
