About this Flowering Bougainvillea Bonsai, Exposed Roots, 13 by 22 Inches (Pink pixie)

Thirty-one years have shaped this Pink Pixie bougainvillea into a 14 by 13 by 22 inch tree with exposed roots, planted in a 10-inch turquoise-blue fluted round container. The genus is named for the French navigator Louis Antoine de Bougainville, 1729 to 1811, and the species belongs to the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. What appears to be the flower is in fact a set of leaf bracts at the shoot tips, papery in texture and deep pink in colour. It wants sun and warm temperatures the year round.

Bougainvillea bonsai care

This is a living Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoor in warm seasons and climates; below about 50°F it must come indoors or to a warm, bright space, and it winters indoors only in the brightest light
Light: Full sun, 6 to 8 hours direct daily: intense light is essential for flowering
Water: Dry-leaning. Prefers drier soil and air; water thoroughly then let it approach dry. A slight dry stress actually triggers blooming
USDA zones: 9 to 11 (frost-free); can stay outdoors year-round only in zone 10+
#1 cause of death: Overwatering / root rot (often combined with cold)

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Bougainvillea bonsai care guide.
