Planting and Growing Conditions

Care and Maintenance

Propagating Bougainvillea x buttiana 'Blondie Yellow Orange'

  1. Cuttings: Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots develop.
  2. Layering: Bend a low-growing branch to the ground, make a small cut on the underside, and cover with soil. The branch will root at the cut, and can be severed from the parent plant once established.
