Consequently, can Bougainvillea grow in Ontario?Bougainvillea is not hardy enough to survive Toronto winters outside, but it can grow outside in the summer and move indoors for the winter. My dad grew a lovely bougainvillea as a houseplant. The specimen shown is in a greenhouse at Allan Gardens.Also Know, how do you take care of bougainvillea in the winter? Part of the care for bougainvillea plants over winter is to keep them a touch on the dry side. As spring nears, gradually increase water. As temperatures outside warm, gradually introduce the plant to more light and warmer temperatures to get it ready to go outdoors. Keeping this in view, how can I make my bougainvillea grow faster? Bougainvilleas grow fast in bright sunlight and slower in the shade and areas with low light. They like rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.0. They do not grow well in soil that is constantly wet.How do I get my bougainvillea to flower?Bougainvillea flowers heaviest when the plant is water-stressed. Bougainvillea growers often withhold water for extended periods to force the plant into bloom. To stimulate blooming this way, withhold all water until the leaves begin to wilt. Then water thoroughly.
