4" inch Bougainvillea rooting

9 years ago

late last Summer I bought this Bougie that came in a 4" pot. This Spring I nipped a couple of branches to try to make it grow more compact and for the kick of it, I thought I would give it a try to propagate those 'twigs'. To my surprise, 2 of them sprouted a leaf, one on each twig. I know that does not mean that they are rooted. The thing that bothered me, was that one of those leafs is so close to the medium, that it may rot, so I started to remove the cover and gave it some air. Well, one of those leafs fell off, so I immediately covered it again for the other twig. I don't know how to handle this at this moment. Cover or don't cover, water when dry? I am using vermiculite and peatmoss.
