I have a bougainvillea plant currently growing in a pot in a sunny
position.

From reading the about the plant, I know it requires very little water.
I have been watering it twice a week. The leaves are now beginning to
droop but not quite wilting yet. So have I been watering too much, or
too little? Or is it deficient in minerals, and therefore maybe I
should feed it with some fertilizer?

Please help with any suggestions ....


I just checked my plant encyclopedia and it states to "water freely",
whatever you can make of that?
We have some at work, in quite clay soil that are doing well, never get
watered except for rain, however the clay is always moist.
Perhaps try watering a little more often, say every 2 days, and a deep
watering. Of course change according to rain and temperature, but if recent
temps are anything to go by, then every 2 days.
Good luck
