Question
Hi. I just planted a small Bouganvilla, in full sun, in Phoenix, Az. I would like to know how much to water it until it gets established? Should I use Miracle Gro? I know they do not like much water after established, but cannot find any info about their first few months! Also, I have been told not to use mulch, do you agree? Thank you! Debbie Meeker  

Answer
Hi Debbie,
Thanx for your question.  The link below has a lot of good information I think you're after.  If this isn't enough let me know.  Remember in AZ you have a whole lot less rain than in South Texas (the area mentiond in the link).  Also more heat, drier so adjust water accordingly.  I hope this helps.
