The pruning you will be doing on this plant is determined by how you want them to grow. I have seen hedges that are made from Bougainvillea, round bushes and walls and fences covered with it.. It makes a brilliant display of color.
We are training ours to cover our barbed wire fence. They are wonderful plants to have as a coverage. They are either thick with dark green foliage or covered in beautiful flowers.
If you are trying to create a shape, or make it climb, you will need something for it to go up. A wall with a trellis attached is ideal. In the video below, you will see the woman in Santa Barbara has trained hers to climb over her garage. This requires tying to keep it in place. Be careful when doing this as Bougainvillea has thorns.They are also an excellent choice as a barrier or security fencing because of this. So when it comes time to prune, you will want to wear gauntlet style gardening gloves if you are going to be cutting it back hard, or tying into place.
Another tip, trim off all dead flowers or any nibbled leaves. Do this regularly to keep your plant at its best.
If you find the base is beginning to look sparse, pinch off leaves near the top with your fingers., this will encourage growth lower down the stalk.
