My Bougainvillea is several years old. I keep it in the garage every winter. It is fertilized regularly, %26amp; gets plenty of sun. It blooms sparcely.
What does it need?
This is a most commonly asked question and the answer, 9 times out of 10, is that the plant is not getting enough sunlight. Bougainvilleas need AT LEAST 8-10 hours of direct (sunbatheing sun!) sunlight every day. Also, cut back on the water and fertilize and only water when the plant wilts. Also, if you can find some Hibiscus Food fertilizer use that every 2-3 weeks. Remember, some types of bougainvilleas bloom mostly in the fall in response to short days.
Reply:When was the last time you replanted it sometimes the plant is trying to tell you something do you prune-I guess the flowers come from the new growth good luck?
