Bougainvillea care?

Any help in careing for(watering,fertilizing,prunning,positi... ect.) for the Bougainvillea vine?





I live in Sydney Australia so a warm,humid climate with unreliable rainfall.The soil is a nice soil.

Bougainvillea care?
Bougainvilleas thrive on neglect. Water less often to get more blooms. A new plant will of course need more water than an established plant. Fertilize Spring to Autumn. They are frost tender. Do you get any frost in the winter in Sydney? Established plants can tolerate severe pruning.





Good luck :-)
Reply:I live in Florida and they seem to thrive without any care at all! Bad soil, no water, no fertilizer, and they still grow and bloom like crazy. I have to prune them back all year around.
