Once established (12–18 months), Bougainvillea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental irrigation in South Florida.
Drought-stressed plants bloom more. Once established (12 months), reduce irrigation significantly — overwatering suppresses flowering. Water 2x per week during establishment, then reduce to once weekly or less. Excellent irrigation setback candidate after establishment.
Solo e Fertilização
Fertilizer: Low-nitrogen bloom fertilizer (0-10-10 or similar) or tomato fertilizer
Schedule: February after pruning. October before fall bloom. Use low-nitrogen high-phosphorus fertilizer — high nitrogen promotes foliage over flowers.
