Bougainvillea like a high nitrogen fertilizer and approximately 15 hours of day light to boost flowering. The flowers bloom mainly on new growth.
Reply:If it's in a pot I've "shocked" mine into blooming. Let them get really dry and then water. Or take them from outside into AC then out again. It sort of tricks them. Also yes they bloom on new growth only and like a lot of sun and well drained soil.
Reply:buy another plant
Reply:You might be pruning it at the wrong time. They bloom on new growth.
Reply:Try Miracle grow every 14 days. But this type of plant likes it not too hot or too cold. they grow like crazy in San Diego Ca.
