Mini Bougainvillea nursery find
Lately, being into air-layering and collection, I seldom even visit nurserys anymore, but being out of town last week, I decided to do a little scouting. I thought I might look around for a mini bougy, The first place I looked had several, but they were pencils with leaves. Then in another town, I found this one with kind of a nice trunk. The tag said variety ' Rosenka', an " exceptionally dwarf, mounding habit" plant. The first two pics are before and after it went under the chopping block. The first 1 1/2" of soil had no roots, and I found the bottom 3" in the pot had none either, so I reduced the pot depth from 14" to about 10" without cutting any roots for now. The third pic is of one of my other Bougys, in the style plan I have for this one. Any comments or suggestions welcome, Larry.
