| I really love this time of year...the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting cooler, the flounder are beginning to run for deeper water, and my Bougainvillea indoor bonsai trees are blooming. I took my bonsai outside to give it a rinsing and put it up on the hand rail of my bay house to take a couple photos. After my Bougainvillea bonsai have finished blooming, I will give them a light pruning. I usually take any pruned branches (vines) and remove the bracts up about 1/3 from the bottom and propagate them. I use some potting soil with a mixture of root growth hormone and fertilizer to get the roots growing. After the roots have firmly rooted themselves in the potting medium, I'll start to wire and train the new Bougainvillea and any new branches that have started. With a little care and TLC, the new trees will make beautiful Bougainvillea indoor bonsai trees...with their little pink blooms...when the flounder begin to run. |
