bougainvilleas are very beautiful to look at esp in full bloom season and of different types. it will live as many years as it can depending on the care of that plant by the owner/gardener. they are most popular in countries where there is no winter season. all you need to do is to check it from time to time the bottom part of that tree if there is no insects eating the tree (i don't know the name of that insect in english but the color is likely brownish/white). this kind of insect would likely to damage the bottom part of the tree rather than the upper part. this tree has to be given some fertilizer once in every 6 months. you could place the animal wastes around it not too close the tree as it makes fertilizer too (that's if you have animals like cows, horses, etc), if not just buy from the home centers/gardening centers. dried twigs must be cut off. newly grown twigs/branches could spread as long as they can.
*in my mother's place we have there 58yrs old accdng to my mother. i have my own also here which i planted in the big pot & it's 3yrs old already in my hand (though i don't know how many years it had been cared at the flower shop when i bought it).

+you can propagate it if you like by cutting a branch, soak it in the bucket with water for about 2 hours and plant it. within 3weeks or so, tiny roots will come out and become a tree too.

Answer 3

From my 10 + years of expertise and working in the nursery industry and taking numerous courses in ornamental horticulture I have not been able to recognize the plant or tree named bugmabilia? If youy include a representative picture , your issue should be easier to solve.
