Bougainvillea can be very easily propagated by cuttings. Pruning of the plant is in any case necessary during the rainy season. Take some cuttings of old branch, pencil length, and a little thicker than that of a normal pencil, as thick as checking pencil. Use some root hormone. It roots easily; the success rate is fairly high.
Let us see the photographs you have. If they are already on the net , please let me know the link.
I don't know much about the oxygen giving quality of this climber. Probably some member may enlighten.
Best wishes,
akbhatt

Promila ji

I have been trying to find stable differences between B. glabra and B. spectabilis. The only reliable feature I find is the tips of showy involucre bracts to be obtuse (acute in B. glabra), longer thorns and pubescent flowers (latter features are not clear in photographs).
