Where to buy big sized bougainvilleas in Bangkok?

[GugaSomething]

Hello everyone,

 

I am looking for bigger bougainvilleas that can dangle over the balcony wall. I do not have a car, so plant nursery hopping is not an easy option. I am hoping that someone can lead me straight to a known source in Bangkok. Thank you in advance.

A long time ago we got something like what you describe on the Weekend Market's nursery phase (used to be Wednesday and Thursday). Used a tuk-tuk to get it home, driver wasn't all too pleased with me bleeding over the seat. Plant still with us, although in a much diminished form. Planting it in new house next week.

Yeah, Jatujak market will be the place, you need to check which days are specialist plant days.

 

You don't need a big bougainvillia, just get a small one, give it food and light and it will be big in a few weeks. Ours need a weekly haircut to keep them from taking over.

I agree, they grow faster than you can keep up with the pruning.
