What wrong with my bougainvillea, it all sad all the stem is solf .?

What have you changed about it recently. Is in a pot, did you turn the pot around 180 degrees, not good ,if it's new to you. Or are you over watering it, sounds like the later. Bougainvillea don't like to much water.

is it a really big plant or small? these vines need lots sun and minimal water, with a well drained soil. Check for small sap sucking insects like aphids or thrip
Reply:I almost killed my bougainvillea by giving it iron. If you have recently added any fertilizer with iron in it, try flushing it out by running lots of water to it. Other than that, I'd look for insects doing the damage and use the appropriate insect killer.
Reply:It sounds as though it is either getting too much water or too little. They like the soil moist but not wet. If it's in a pot, this can be adjusted accordingly. If planted in the ground, it probably needs water and I'd check for aphids or other pests.
Reply:I agree with the first two answers basically, but I'm going with


to much water. Very common mistake.
