About this plant
Bougainvillea Ball Shape suits outdoor spots with full sun. Its pet safety is not confirmed, so check with your vet if you have pets.
Bougainvillea Ball Shape is a bougainvillea trained into a neat, rounded topiary, a colorful formal accent for Dubai entrances, terraces and gardens.
Bougainvillea Ball Shape is a bougainvillea (Bougainvillea glabra), the thorny flowering shrub from Brazil, clipped and trained into a rounded ball. When in flower it becomes a dense globe of papery bracts. We offer it in white, pink, red, orange, purple and mixed colors.
It suits Dubai's sun and heat very well. It flowers best in full sun with moderate watering, and too much water or nitrogen gives leafy growth with fewer bracts. To keep the ball shape, it needs light trimming after each flowering flush, which also encourages new color. It may drop bracts after moving or in cooler winter weather before regrowing.
It works well in pairs at entrances and gates, on terraces, along driveways and as formal accents in villa gardens. We offer it as a single ball-shaped size in a choice of colors.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Bougainvillea Ball Shape healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2 to 3 days in summer in pots; every 5 to 7 days once established in the ground. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: free-draining sandy loam or quality potting mix with sand. Feeding: low-nitrogen flowering feed every 6 to 8 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: skipping regular trimming, which lets long shoots spoil the ball shape. Where it works: entrances, gates, terraces, driveways and formal garden accents.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Bougainvillea, Bougainvillea glabra and Bougainvillea spectabilis); the stems carry sharp thorns. Check with your vet if you have pets.
