Question
I bought a beautiful full bougainvilla tree approx 3 wks. and and it's in front of my house that receives only partial sun since it faces north. It's probably been watered twice and lots of the blooms have fallen off. Do you think it could be not enough sun or too much water? I live in Ft. Laud. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Kathy, Bougs like full sun and not much water, this is the optimum condition for a Boug to flourish; its perfectly normal for it to shed its spent bracts, it will refurbish itself, but watch for small insects and don't water it but once a week. Nick
