How to grow Bouganvillas


Question
I recently bought a Bouganvilla in a basket.
When I put in the ground, it lost most of the
blooms. It receives good light all day with full
sun the in afternoons. What can I do or NOT
do to get thriving again?

Answer
Bryon, it underwent transplant shock is all, just leave it be for awhile, makes sure it gets a weekly watering; it will eventually send out a new flush. Bougs are pretty resilient, but are prone to leaf drop if environmental changes take place. Make sure it gets plenty of sun and again, weekly irrigation, (no more..). Nick
