bougainvillea woes - losing leaves and flowers - watering, feeding,etc...
i used to water my bougainvillea on the balcony (facing northwest on
my 2nd floor balcony) by letting it virtually dry out, then flooding it with a couple gallons (like I water my indoor ficus) and it seemed to be ok. I was told that a better way to take care of bougainvillea's is to keep them damp as opposed to dry/drench and now it seems to have lost many leaves *and* flowers. It's done this before, but seems like one heck of a coincidence. admittedly it's getting a little colder now, but since I'm in southern california, that doesn't mean all that much! so my question is, should I change the way I'm watering back to dry/ drench or keep the soil damp? Also, I'm adding the same fish/seaweed fertilizer I add for my ficus - is that a good idea? thanks!! - JayDee |
