Bougainvillea Care in Missouri: Water Sparingly, Full Sun

Problem

Mother's Day bougainvillea lost blooms in June. Watered daily on covered patio in SW Missouri.

Fixes

• Water once a week (only when soil is bone dry).
• Full sun all day (not covered patio).
• Watch for pests.
• Winter: bring indoors to sunny window.
• Fertilize: low-nitrogen granular every 3 months.
