Description
A very popular hybrid Bougainvillea, the variety Barbara Karst is a marriage of toughness and beauty with particularly eye catching clusters of bright red to magenta-red,papery bracts surrounding surrounding tiny white flowers. The flowers are borne on stems clad with short thorns & dull wavy edged ovate leaves.
Environment
Bougainvillea are easy to grow and flower if grown under maximum light and stressed with dryness. Bring the soil to a state of visual dryness between watering. The best flowering occurs when the plants are brought to a slight wilt between waterings. When watering, thoroughly saturate the soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Growing in a clay pot will help maintain a healthy root system.
Grow in Fertile, well drained soil in full light. Bring the soil to a state of visual dryness between watering. The best flowering occurs when the plants are brought to a slight wilt between waterings. When watering, thoroughly saturate the soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Growing in a clay pot will help maintain a healthy root system.
Fertilize with a balanced, soluble fertilizer every two weeks at 1 tsp of fertilizer per gallon of water. Reduce the frequency during the winter months, especially under cool temperatures.
