Fertilizing & Pruning my bougainvilleas for maximum bloom.

Bougainvillea Fertilizing, August 07, 2022

Trying to stay on schedule and fertilize & prune my Bougainvilleas regulary. I'm not sure which fertilizer is best yet, but for these I'll be using what I have on hand and that is a 3-4-5 fertilizer.   Then I'll be pruning them again. I followed the directions pretty closely and gave each pot 4 teaspoons of fertilizer.
