Hi folks
I saw the amazing colour of the bougainvillea yesterday and just couldn't resist. I bought it even though I don't have a yard.
I was hoping I could keep it alive inside, if I was diligent about giving it enough light and water. I've put it near a south facing window. I can give it direct sun every few days by putting the plant on my air conditioning unit which juts out like a window sill.
Should this do the trick? Or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks so much!
Yonnie

I would suggest a terra cotta pot so that you can control the moisture. They like well drained soil. I would also look for a heavy duty Lazy Suzan so you can rotate it every couple of days to face the light. I have 2 potted on the deck and they are thriving. Wally World also carries a fertilizer for them that seems to be working.
