Care And Nurture
As bougainvillea generally blooms on new growth, you should cut back the branches that have finished flowering. This will force plant to produce new growth and bougainvillea to bloom.Because the new flowers develop at the new growth, the more they are pruned the more new growth will be encouraged.
