Good luck!


I will tell you excactly why...too much water..bouganviellas bloom under stress..they need "dry feet" to produce blooms..water them once good and heavy..let the soil go completeely dry for a few days..keep doing this..here is some info on this...

WATERING
These plants flower best under stress. Keep the plant slightly on the dry side, and allow the plant to become root bound.

Bougainvillea are rapid growing and flower all year in warm climates, especially when pinched or pruned. They grow best in moist fertile soil. Bloom cycles are typically four to six weeks. Bougainvillea grow best in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilization, but the plant requires little water to flower
