Most bougainvilleas follow a "short-day" blooming cycle. This means they are most likely to produce heavy flushes of color when the days and nights are of nearly equal length. In most regions, this results in two massive peaks: Right as the weather warms up after winter.
: Flowers typically appear in flushes that last 3 to 6 weeks . Under ideal conditions, a single cycle can extend to 4–6 weeks or longer.
High-nitrogen fertilizers (the kind that makes grass green) are the enemy of bougainvillea blooms. If you over-feed nitrogen, you’ll get a giant vine with no flowers. Instead, use a or a "Bloom Booster" to encourage bract production. Pot-Bound Roots
