Default [IBC] bourganvillea new red leaves

Ben:
I am not from the Florida area, but I have slip potted and even pruned
roots on Bougainvilleas year round, since my Bougainvilleas are in my
Green House... They usually come back without as much of a whimper. I do
believe that the Bougainvillea is my favorite tree, bar none!!!

Would now be a good time to repot it? I was told that
it is good to repot bourganvillea in the summer rather
then the spring so i was going to wait till august.
But perhaps with this new flush of growth, and as jim
says a sign it is happy now would be a good time to
repot it. I am going to a larger pot not a smaller
one and no root pruning should be necessary. However
i plan on changing out at least 75 percent of the old
soil.
