    I am new to these forums and this is my first post. I live in the tropics and purchased several bougainvillea plants. Some are in pots and some I planted in the ground several months ago. The plants all seem to be growing very tall and the leaves look very healthy but I have no new blossoms. Since the blossoms and vivid colors is why I bought the plants in the first place I am disappointed to only have green leaves. I have purned them back several times in the last few months but I still don't have blossoms. What do I need to do to get blossoms? Sorry, I just found out how to post and discovered this is not the place to post it. I will try to follow the instructions again and put it in the right place. Thank you

    I think you may be pruning too much.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I will wait a while and see if the new growth blooms.
