I took this bougainvillea cutting on September 5. I soaked it in distilled water for 24 hours, used rooting hormone, planted it in napa 8822, tented it with a plastic bag, and set it out in as much sun as I could give it. After six weeks there was no budding. After eight weeks there was no budding. After ten weeks, no budding. At that point I took the plastic bag off but let it sit and misted it daily. I assumed it was a failed attempt. Then, a couple of weeks ago I noticed some tiny sprouts in one location only.
Based on everything I’ve read, it should take approximately six weeks to see new growth, so twelve weeks for growth was surprising. I’m also surprised that there is only growth in one spot. Any thoughts on the above technique? Did I do something wrong or is this bougainvillea just not that vigorous?
