Artificial Bougainvillea

What options are there?

Our bougainvillea is available in 120cm and 180cm tall which is measured from the base of the pot to the tip of the tree, however, this can vary slightly depending on how you arrange the foliage.

The bougainvillea will arrive in a small black starter pot which features a painted green finish designed to look like a mossy finish in place of soil, but if this is not to your personal style, you can easily cover up with some decorative stones. The Starter pot is perfect for use as an anchor if you decide to replant into a pot that will better suit your home or workplace style.

Will you be able to tell it’s not real?

We chose this bougainvillea because of its real wood stem, alongside multi-tone leaves to create a sense of depth and realism to the foliage.

The petals are bright and vibrant, mimicking the plants’ real-life counterpart, which draws the eye, creating a centrepiece for your home.

When the bougainvillea arrives, this is what you need to do:

1. Unpack
Open the box carefully and remove any excess packaging, making sure to recycle where possible.


2. Where should you put it
Your new faux bougainvillea is designed for indoor use only, so find the best location in your home to show off your stunning ornamental vine.


3. Potting and finishing touches
We recommend repotting the bougainvillea into a pot that will better suit your space. Simply find a pot large enough to easily place the starter pot into, the starter pot makes a great anchor to make sure your plant is secure, simply fill in the space around the starter pot with some sand or soil then finish off with decorative stones, moss or glass pebbles.

Take a look at our "re-potting your plant" blog for a more in-depth guide.

What about ongoing maintenance?

Your new artificial bougainvillea needs little to no care. Once in place the only suggestion we have is a light dusting of the foliage and petals as part of your existing cleaning routine.

Top tips

Because our bougainvillea does not need light to survive, try placing it in a naturally dark corner to brighten up your living space without fear of plant death from lack of sunlight.

Did you know?

The bright pink petals are not actually part of the flower. They are known as “bracts” which are specialised leaves. The Flowers of the bougainvillea are actually small and white, located in the centre of the bright pink bract.

The bougainvillea is also the national flower of Grenada.
