Bougainvillea First Cut

[Haoleboy]

Picked up yesterday at a local nursery. Good price $14. I just teased the roots a little, replaced some soil, and gave it a prune. Hopefully gets some wiring done next weekend. Deciding on a front still.

I have the best luck completely defoliating when I mess with them but let's see how it responds. I would not mess with roots until you are in the heat of summer. It is a good looking stump!

I merely dusted them off as I had out of the pot. Most of the soil went underneath the roots to lift it up a few inches. The rest was just tucked down the sides. Nights are in the mid 60's and days are in the mid 80's for a while. Should be fine.
