Two bougainvilleas planted three months ago were thriving but now drop leaves and thin out. They get full sun and regular water but no fertilizer.
Nick notes bougainvilleas love sun and heat but dislike excess water. Recent heavy rain could be the culprit. He also suggests checking for night-feeding caterpillars. Reduce watering if soil stays wet; inspect leaves at night for pests.
Let soil dry between waterings. Bougainvilleas bloom best under slight drought stress.
