Hello Everyone! Recently, my neighbor got a new fence... But a big bougainvillea was in the way! So my Bonsai friend Adam (Facebook Account) (Blog) came to dig the big tree up! But when I say big, I mean BIG!! This tree has been growing in the ground for 19 years! When Adam was taking the bougainvillea out, I got a little piece that came off... Below is what it looks like: And here is the piece Adam got: (If you want to know Adam's Side of the Story, Click Here) In case you want to know more about a bougainvillea, you can click here. This particular bougainvillea has a pinkish purple flower. Although this tree has a pretty flower, it has a lot of thorns! Like I said above, this bougainvillea has been growing in the ground for 19 years! This tree also loves to grow wild! Below is this bougainvillea flowering: Back to my little piece, after getting it... I had to get this bougainvillea in water, it only had 1 root! It was hard finding a big enough container to fit this... Finally, I remembered I had a watering can a good size for this bougainvillea. Below is how I left it for the day... I will keep you updated on how this tree is doing!!

good luck with that. you may want to try some cloning gel or other liquid rooting hormone on that if it isn't taking.

Thanks for the Luck! :) The rooting process is actually working great! I have a lot of new growth and new roots appearing! Soon, it will be ready for a pot! I will probably work in a 3-5 gallon pot.

It's one of my favorite trees. I have lost many., mostly to black frost.
