Recipe(tried): I have bouganvilleas in all colors at the patio of my home. Some observations

Tips and Tricks - Home and Garden
I have bouganvilleas in all colors at the patio of my home. Some observations that might help you.

My bouganvilleas are sorrounding my patio. When they are carefully cut by the gardner to follow the form & height of the gate, & if I add fertilizer & water them too frequently, they will be green, with a lot of folliage, but no flowers.

In my opinion, you should cut them after they give the first bloom, then you allow the bouganvillea to grow long branches, that will fall almost, or to the ground. Those branches left uncut will grow lovely blooms (remember, not too much water (daily) nor frequent fertilazer). After the blooms die, you repeat the above process.

The loveliest blooms will show from october until January (in the Tropics). I suggest that you mix colors & you will have a lovely colorful garden. By the way, they love the sun, & mine are sowed in the ground.
