Bouganvilla dying back/leaves turning brown


Question
I just realized the water timer was drip watering the bouganvilla 45 minutes every day.  Could this be the problem?  I've cut back to 45 minutes twice a week.
And thank you!

Answer
Mary Lou, way too much water! Bougs hate water, they require very little to sustain themselves; even 45 minutes twice a week is wayyyy...too much! I have them on my property and what mother nature gives them is all they get and they thrive...uproot it and move it, the roots are soaked and hopefully they will dry out in a different location, if they are too large to do this, then just stop watering all together and hope for the best...regards Nick
