Q.My First Bougainvillea Plant
So I got this plant at a garden sale in Austin and I was blown away by the beautiful bright red colors ? ❤️ but not long after bringing my plant home (mind it was a hanging Bougainvillea plant ) and all the flowers fell off and it’s all green leaves and no flowers ? ? what did I do wrong ?!?

The bracts will fall off but you may have hastened their drop with the environment change. Did you hang it outside in the sun? It needs light, water and fertilizer to bloom.
Here are its cultural needs to follow:
