Dear sir, My brother Mr. Vasant is having interest in Bougainvellia. He is having different varities of colors. He is in search of the plant having different colors on the same stem. Is it availabe or not? If Yes, Please forward me the technique. Thanks. From: Anant Nichat Amravati,Maharashtra state From INDIA.
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.
