bougainvilla


Question
Our two plants have been in the ground for about 3 months and we're doing just great, lots of blooms, filling in, growing etc.  Now they are losing leaves, appear to be thinning out and just not happy for some reason.  They get lots of sun and are watered regularly although we haven't fertilized them yet.  Ideas?

Answer
Hi Al, you didn't mention where you live, but Bougs like lots of sun and heat, but are not fond of a lot of water, so that said, I would not be too concerned if you are getting a lot of rain as of late.  The only other real concern would be night feeding catepillas. Nick
