i used to water my bougainvilleao n the balcony (facing northwest on
my 2nd floor balcony) by letting it virtually dry out, then flooding
it with a couple gallons

so my question is, should I change the way I'm watering back to dry/
drench or keep the soil damp?

I have a bougainvillea indoors and let it dry out between waterings.
Generally, when the leaves start to droop, it's time to water. The
vine is about 10 years old and about 10 feet long. Were you having
trouble keeping it all

here's an update:

There are lots of leaves on the lower braches of the bougainvillea
that are behind the balcony and they become more sparse on the above
branches that reach over the balcony and therefore have more exposure
to the sun (NW) but this has never been an issue before.

There are still just about NO FLOWERS.

This used to be such a beautiful addition to my balcony - I hope
someone here can help me!

Thanks
