Posts: 168	Re: Bougainville 2 (rides again) The tree two months later (after transplantation), with pretty new flowers (we are here in Rio at the beggining of the winter). I used osmocote 10-10-10. Bougs do not like too much water. At the end of the winter I will offer to the tree NPK 06-14-08.

Looks like it has quite a view and plenty of fresh air? Watch your wire placement. Wire works most efficiently when it is applied at an angle of between 45 and 60 degrees to the trunk. This appears to be almost perpendicular, so you wind up using more wire and getting less benefit from it. THere is a flash demo in the *WIRING_FAQ* that shows the correct angle. THe question is called "How do I apply wire..." That looks like a really nice place to work. I would be happy to come out there and demonstrate in person and enjoy the view!

Re: Bougainville 2 (rides again)

I know that the right way is 45 degrees, but sometimes is very difficult to maintain this angle, specially when you have to preserve some leaf.
Here in Rio the Bougies produces flowers (Bougies have not flowers, they have a modified leaf) all over the year (we do not have well defined seasons). Put them in full sun and they will be very happy. Here my trees grow in open air (varanda) with a strong wind (my pots are wrapped in the stand).

Valeu pelas suas palavras sobre as Bougies. Realmente elas são muito legais para se trabalhar com Bonsai, aqui no Rio elas são muito resistentes e suportam bem podas de raízes e se recuperam bem e rápido emitindo flores logo (não são flores são folhas modificadas ou brácteas). Elas se dão bem ai em Portugal ?

Posts: 168	Re: Bougainville 2 (rides again) Marko, Que bom que vc consegue bouguies por aí. A árvore que eu coloquei aí em cima é quase como cor de vinho tinto. Recentemente, faz um mês, transplantei uma cor de abóbora ou orange king como os gringos preferem chamar a variedade, talvez faça outra thread e coloque fotos dela desde o começo.
