Yorkshire Bonsai Bougainvillea Flowering Bonsai Tree | Broom | In 20cm Pot

With its woody trunk, finely branching growth and rounded broom-style canopy, this Bougainvillea bonsai brings strong architectural character and seasonal colour to an indoor setting. Presented in a 20cm bonsai pot, it offers a distinctive form that suits a bright windowsill or heated conservatory, where its structure can be appreciated throughout the year.

Bougainvillea is grown for its vividly coloured bracts surrounding small, delicate flowers. Depending on the individual tree and its stage of development, the bracts may appear in shades of pink, purple, red or orange. In the UK, it is best grown indoors for most of the year, with outdoor placement limited to warm, settled summer weather. Its vigorous growth and responsiveness to trimming make it particularly suited to growers with some previous plant or bonsai-care experience.

Growing tips

• Place in the brightest and sunniest position available; a south-facing windowsill or heated conservatory is ideal
• Water thoroughly whenever the surface of the substrate begins to feel slightly dry
• Allow excess water to drain freely and do not leave the pot standing in water for extended periods
• Keep in a warm position, protect from cold temperatures and frost, and keep away from cold draughts
• Avoid placing it immediately beside a radiator, as intense direct heat can dry the tree and substrate very quickly
• Apply a suitable bonsai fertiliser regularly throughout the active growing season, following the instructions provided with the feed
• Reduce feeding when growth slows during the colder months
• Trim back new shoots during active growth to maintain the rounded broom-style canopy
• Repot during the warmer growing season when necessary, using a free-draining bonsai substrate
• Handle the roots carefully and avoid excessive root disturbance
