Default bouganvillia

Hi, I have a 12 month old bouganvillia, "Vera Deep Purple" it was 6" high
when I got it, it has grown and flowered almost constantly, and is now 18"
tall. I have repotted it 3 months ago, it is kept in my conservatory, south
facing, and was very happy, full of flowers until we went on holiday, I took
it, with a few other smaller bourganvillia, to my neighbours house, same
south facing, but not in a conservatory, but full light by a window.

We were only away for a week, but all the bracts have fallen off, and the
plant looks very spindly and leggy, there are still leaves, but I cant see
any new bracts forming. I dont think it was overwatered, the soil was not
dry, but not sodden.

What do you think might be happening? is this normal for the plant to rest
like this. I haven't cut it back at all, or fed it. its in a 6 inch pot.
the other plants are fine, not flowering yet at all, a lot younger.

thanks
