The Bougainvillea is a striking and vibrant climbing plant, famous for its intense color and vigorous growth. This specific specimen, the 'Piramide' (Pyramid), has been expertly shaped to stand as a beautiful, geometric, and concentrated feature plant.
Form: This is a striking climbing plant shaped into a pyramid, giving it a formal, structural elegance that sets it apart from traditional trailing bougainvillea. It stands at a substantial 70 cm (about 27.5 inches) tall and is delivered in a 17 cm pot.
Color (Bracts): Its most notable feature is the presence of bright magenta bracts. These colorful, paper-like structures are the main source of the plant's visual drama and are often mistaken for the true flowers.
Flowers: The true flowers are small and white, subtly nestled within the colorful bracts.
Foliage: The leaves are glossy green and pointed in shape, providing a beautiful contrast to the vivid magenta bracts.
The Bougainvillea is a sun-loving tropical/Mediterranean plant that requires warmth and protection.
Light: This plant thrives in a sunny, sheltered location. Maximum sun exposure is key to maximizing the vibrant color production of the bracts.
Ideal Locations: It is ideal for patios, balconies, or conservatories where it can enjoy high light levels.
Temperature: It can be placed outdoors in summer but must be kept frost-free in winter, as it is not tolerant of cold temperatures.
Routine: Water regularly, especially during the flowering period (when it is actively producing color).
Soil: Allow the soil to slightly dry out between waterings.
Caution: Crucially, avoid waterlogging at the roots to prevent root rot, as wet feet are detrimental to this plant.
