Cutting bougainvillea
Q:Can bougainvillea be cut?
O:Bougainvillea is a vigorously growing climber, even in our conditions it can reach three meters in height.It must have a stable support to which vigorously growing shoots must be systematically tied.Since the plant has to be moved indoors for the winter, the shoots should be trimmed to a comfortable size.
Wintering the laurel tree
Q:Can a laurel tree and an olive be hibernated outside?
O:These species come from the Mediterranean basin and in our climate they cannot winter outdoors.The olive endures only light frosts and in winter it should be taken to a frost-free room with a temperature of 2-10˚C.In the dark it will lose its leaves. The laurel tolerates frost down to -10˚C, but it cannot be left outside for the whole winter.It can stand in a room with a temperature of 0-6˚C.
During wintering in such conditions, plants should be watered rather sparingly.The higher the temperature in the room, the more abundant the watering.
