How to propagate Bougainvilleas from cuttings - The Bonsai Supply 

That’s going to be a beautiful tree and I see a beautiful Desert Rose in the back round too👍

I'm in Orlando, and I LOVE bougainvilleas. There are so many overgrown monsters around me. I bought a decent saw, now have collected and currently growing 5 different kinds. They are colorful, fast-growing, and my favorite part is they're versatile. It can be a climbing vine or a bonsai!

This guy cutting the bougie no gloves...my hero !

Thank you! My first bonsai was a bougie (pink pixie)...and it's still alive after 15 years (14 years without re-potting!). I really didn't get into bonsai until recently, so the bougie and a dwarf shefflera (also about 15 years old) were the only two I had until earlier this year when the pandemic had me shifting hobbies/interests around (no surprise - I read that there's been an increase in the number of houseplants people have bought since the pandemic). I live in zone 7b and I noticed that the roots of bougies are super sensitive. I managed to propagate (90% success rate) 4 bougies from cuttings and are happily thriving indoors (brought them in a few weeks ago when weather started getting cooler). The mother plant, however, did not like the sudden change indoors since I also re-potted it right before bringing it inside. It lost nearly 95% of its leaves, but new shoots/buds have come out after putting it under grow lights and not watering it as much. The mother plant's trunk is small (1/2 inch) and I don't expect it to fatten up since it's in a slightly bigger pot than the one it was in for 14 years, but with the 4 smaller ones, I might plant one or two in a larger container with regular soil and let it grow wild and fatten up over the next few years.

Cool video. Everybody loves bogies. I have the 'normal' one in pink and red and also some pink pixie dwarfs. For cuttings I use the regular black potting soil with lot of perlite and it doesn't give me headaches at all like Jerome says it would in the video. So using bonsai soil is not a must, dont worry. I let it sit in rainwater for 24 hours and then just stick the branch in the soil without rooting hormone. 2 -3 weeks later the new leafs apear. Super easy

I like bogenville,, good job brother

You hav "green fingures" Jerome, anything u touch turns out into a good green plant , very nice vedio👍

Man you are rocking it!

very good bonsai

I'm curious about using bonsai soil for rooting. 🤔 I have been using Fox Farms Ocean Forest for propigation with great success. Then switching to bonsai soil after I have a good root base.

What time of year do you propergate jade?

I would like to see how plant progresses over a year etc.

Very cool! 😎

can I do that with a cypress

could you talk about other ways of doing cuttings to root? like Fukien tea or Ficus Retusa or micorcarpa. and maybe the best way to get ariel roots.? left a like

I have decided that I would like to start this as a hobby. What do I need to get started.

When is this done in what season to succeed

Sand would be a better rooting medium to hold in the stump without wiring and cheaper too. Not beach sand but torpedo sand. Just a thought.

What type of wires are needed for doing bonsai plants?

Just a quick question, you mentioned that misting helps the tree to bud. Does thos help in general with other trees too?

ficus religiousa bonsai plx

Amazing 😉

Great video, I love this species. I know bougainvillea are fast growing, hardy trees, but do they root very quickly doing this sort of work in October?

Any alternative to hormone powder/liquid? In europe(at least in spain) it's prohibited its use...

Is your store going to reopen in Oakland park anytime soon??

Advice for better flowering would be nice

Hi there when is the best time to do this because I’ve tried and failed but I was doing it with branches

Can i propogete bogunwila now in winter ? Will it grow ? Thanks :)

And i have a regular one thats 50+ years old in my yard its about 13ft tall

Does it work without the hormone ?

Is that one of the thornless varieties? I don't keep Bougs in the yard because pruning them leaves me a bloody mess. 😂
