    Different colours on the same stem of Bougainvillea can be achieved by grafting branches of various colours onto a host plant. Pick a sturdy basic plant with good roots, and then branches from the other colours.

    Side-veneer or Cleft grafting are the two easiest ways to go about this. There's a good tutorial here.

    Hi
    Thanks for your cooperation.
    Please tell me about any other available techniques in Bougainvellia grafting like
    direct graft on the branches.
