| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | Too much nitrogen | Switch to low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer (e.g., 5-30-5). | | Overwatering | Let soil dry out between waterings. | | Too much shade | Move to sunnier spot. | | Pruned at wrong time | Prune a bloom cycle, not before spring. | | Young plant | May take 1–2 years to mature. |
| Climate | Bloom Season | Notes | |---------|--------------|-------| | | Year-round, peak in dry season | Blooms almost continuously if stressed correctly. | | Subtropical / Mediterranean (e.g., Southern California, Texas, Australia) | Spring to fall (March–October) | Requires winter protection; blooms less in cool months. | | Temperate (indoor/container) | Summer only (June–August) | Needs full sun and winter indoors. | | Cool / Coastal | Summer (July–September) | Later bloom due to cooler nights. | when do bougainvillea bloom
