Bougainvillea Plant - Live Magenta-Red 'Barbara Karst' - 2.5 inch Pot, Pink, Green

Very healthy carefully shipped, taped down in the box then in a package, wet soil was secured in a bag. Arrived green and healthy. I was surprised it was a pair of small plants nit just one. I have potted in organic garden soil and placed inside in window for more maturity.

healthy plant

No tube, no protection. Nothing! This is what I received. For the price paid, I'd say it's not worth it at all! I'm disappointed

I live in zone 7 so I'll be potting mine anyway. The plant looks a little banged up from shipping but very healthy. The roots were more than expected. I potted it up straight away and have no reason to believe it won't thrive with the right care. Good price for a little plant.Edit: two years later, I finally got bracts and they're not the color I ordered. Heads up.

Packaged very well in a tube, so it protected the leaves and everything. The plant is a well-rooted cutting with moisture held inside for the delivery trip. There was a wood stake to hold the plant. However, the stick absorbed the moisture and became moldy; luckily the mold didn’t affect the plant! I think the plant would have been fine in the tube without the wood stick.Had the baby for a few weeks now, doing great, dropped a few leaves but that’s normal. It’s the middle of winter; I put a grow lamp on it and now he’s happy as a clam. Leaves are growing. Can’t wait to nurture him into bloom this summer.Update: Few months later under a grow light and some nurturing, and he has flowered! I had to dock 1 star though because the color is not a Barbara Karst Red as described, but it’s orange (as can be seen in the picture).

My two bougainvillea plants arrived today in perfect shape. I was concerned that they sat in a hot mailbox for hours because I didn’t realize they were being sent USPS. But they were okay. I’d suggest using prime delivery or UPS so they will be delivered to the porch, hopefully out of the sun. Of course I haven’t seen the color yet, but hopefully they will be as brilliant as those we grew in California years ago. Now just to figure out how to indoor plant them…

Muy contenta con mi compra, agradecida por el envío de 2 posturas extras de regalo, en total recibí 4. Espero que con mi cuidado y buena suerte obtener una bella buganvilla. Muchas gracias!!

All in all I am happy at how the plant looks, I was expecting a stick 😬.
