Question
How can I grow bougainvillea indoors during the winter?

Answer

Take six-inch cuttings from short side growths or tips. Insert them in sandy soil in a small pot, or insert several around the edge of the pot. After watering, stand them in a bigger pot and cover with a plastic bag; put them in a warm place. Don’t overwater, and never allow them to dry out.
