The Bougainvillea's you see have been fed every 2 days -- or when watered. I feed them with granular 10-20-10. I give every plant a pinch of fertilizer, then water. The absolute drop dead last word authority on Bougainvillea's in South Central Texas is Phil from Phil's Nursery in San Antonio. Talk to Phil at 210-628-1037. He grew the Vickie, I grew the rest of these. I just might switch to Phil's fertilizer, Excel! Phil says "What ever works for you - stick with it." I say "If you can't get your Bougainvillea to bloom - ask one of us for help."
