It says the plant is a continuous bloomer, year round & everblooming and its been trained to grow like a tree. I have a gift card for amazon, gonna keep it indoors facing East in front of a 16' foot window. Enough light to make an indoor azalea tree produce flowers!! I have specially formulated fertz for it and I plan to water it every other day. Does this product look OK? Any noticeable flaws/imperfections? Will it do ok indoors?

Decided to do this instead of wisteria. Its not as hard to keep alive as Japanese wisteria right? My mother says nothing is as hard as Japanese wisteria to keep alive. Must be a tough plant.

I'm a plant guy - PM me with questions if you like.

Wisteria are much, much easier to keep, actually - inside or out. Bougainvillea need a LOT of sun - as much as you can give it. It does NOT flower year-round indoors. The old, big plants down South usually do, but inside, it will have flowers every 4-6 months, depending on your conditions. The flowers last a pretty long time, though. Let it get fairly dry between watering - do not overwater, otherwise it will rot.
When happy, it's a fast grower. The trunk takes a long time to develop, though. Good luck!
