Hi folks. Here they are...

1 I'm watering once every 3-5 days. I wait 'til the soil feels very
slightly damp (even touching on dry), then I water heavily. Good
practice?

2 It drops a lot of flowers, but still looks healthy. Is this normal
for bouganviella?

3 I add a seaweed/fish furtilizer once a week or so. Do they like
this?

Thanks!

When the first flower flush is going over it pays to keep the plant
virtually dry as this induces more flowers, restart more water once more
flower buds form. Your watering frequancy sounds fine for this time of
year.
I don't feed mine as its big enough without encoraging it! but I would
not think you would do any harm.
Unless it is in a heated space keep it on the dry side overwinter it may
well shed leaves but often starts flowering in the spring before the
leaves return
