It would be ideal if bougainvillaes are not planted especially if it has lots of thorns sticking out.

For me, I do have a pot of bougainvilla but, I specially chosen one with genetically smaller thorns.

So far, there is no, concrete evidence to say whether plants with thorns are bad.

All we ever hear is that this are bad. But, as I had mentioned, there is no concrete evidence to say for sure whether it is auspicious or inauspicious.

But from my opinion, for bougainvilla plants, there should not be a major issue since:

1. it is even worse if this plant or tree has a solid trunk (that slices into the window area or planter box).

2. Bougainvillas need constant trimming especially if there is bright sunlight. It will grow `wildly' if not maintained. And from a planter box, this must be done regulary.

3. Bougainvillas love bright sun-light and little maintenance. if there is bright sun-light, it will constantly flower.

For me, I specifically chose one that can flower different colours on one pot.

I love the different colours: Light purple, purple, chilli red, maroon red, orange, white.

They are very lovely to look at:) And perhaps, help improve Man (human luck). Since it is pleasing to the eye.

Maybe, you may not truly appreciate it.

If it is growing well, try not to shift it to another location.

Best to keep them in a well ventilated location since, there is usually some chemical reaction and sometimes, gases such as menthol can be produced.

Yes, if you can buy fishing line, it is best to restring it into a 6 rod wind chime.

Depending on the Flying Star, this year may not be so bad for some East sectors if there are no double five's. Some sectors at East may not have even a single #5.

So long as your sector has one #5, it is still best to restring and use the constant sound of metal to reduce bad earth elements. No harm to do so.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
