Acclimation?
Just got this Blueberry Ice Bougainvillea seedling from a vendor on Etsy in Florida, it was in transit for about 4 days. I’ve got 3 total seedlings.
One inside and the other two outside (one in shade - the other direct sun), what is the acclimation period for these approximately?
I’m in zone 9B. I do expect them to drop leaves from shipping and the new environment. They’re currently planted in succulent/cactus miracle gro but will soon be put in 2/5 Japanese Hard Akadama - 1/5 Hyuga Pumice - 1/5 Black Lava Rock - 1/5 Pine Bark to raise as a Bonsai.
Any advice? #Bougainvillea #NewGrowth #PlantAddict

Most plants take about a week to acclimate to outside… bougies are very sensitive!!!! I would keep them in indirect bright light for a few days and put them into a pot that they will stay in for a few years also, they don’t like to be repotted. Good luck! I’m trying to propagate mine at the moment… 🤞🤞🤞
@Canadianintexas Thank you so much! I hope to keep them in this pot- I’ve just got to repot them once the bonsai soil blend comes in.
I appreciate the advice I’ll look forward to them bouncing back shortly
