What to do? The bougainvillea grows galore but does not bloom anymore in the south Florida sun. Ideas?

You might be pruning it at the wrong time. They bloom on new growth.
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.
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.
