Vancouver Washington 98684Q.How to store my bougaivillea during the winter – when do I cut it back
I have been putting my plant in the garage during the winter, live in Vancouver, Washington, and that has worked very well, I give it about a cup of water once a month as I was told but this year it isn't doing as well. Should I cut it back before I store it for the winter or wait till spring when it starts to get new growth? Thanks Bev

June 4, 2017A.Can you bring it in the house? If not, cut it back to around 6 inches in the fall and add 2 inches of mulch to protect the roots. Mine was fine and grew like crazy the following year. It sounds like it got too cold in the garage and it is a tropical plant.

92626Q.bonzai bougainvillea
I read somewhere online about removing leaves from branches to start a formation of the bonzai. I realize it is a personal preference as to the shape one is trying to achieve. I have a thirty year old that I have been pruning or trimming to my desired shape. There is a 24" circle the bottom is 30" from the ground . The circle is made from several branches from which I have removed some of the leaves and there are a few flowers, leaves and I have removed some of the leaves from some of the branches.

August 12, 2017A.Flower and leaf drop could be due to stress, pests, disease or watering issues.
Look for signs of issues on the leaves and plant. Do you see pest or holes in leaves?
Is the soil wet and soggy or dry?
Is the soil well draining?
Is the plant in the correct location?

Bougainvillea: how much to water?

Certified ExpertA.Once your bougainvillea is established, it doesn't need much water. As long as there's some rainfall it should take care of itself - just water it during periods of drought, if it's wilting, or if you're growing it in containers. This article should tell you more:

October 6, 2017Q.Bougainvillea
We live in the north of England and have had a Bougainvillea in a pot for around 10 years. It is kept in a south facing conservatory so gets plenty of sunlight. It's autumn here and we have had a sudden leaf drop, not surprising in autumn you may say, but we do not recall this happening so suddenly in previous years. Is this normal or do we have a problem?

Certified ExpertA.More than likely the possibility is that the plant may need some fertilizer. Use an all-purpose fertilizer and some dolomitic lime, and that will help some. I would look, next, to some sort of small pest. Many mites are hard to see, and will cause that kind of damage. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/bougainvillea/bougainvillea-garden-care.htm
