Bougainvillea Bonsai

Mendham, NJ(Zone 6b)

Help!!!

A good friend sent me a Bougainvillea Bonsai from California for my birthday. It so beautfiul, with its magenta bracts. I am already killing it. I see signs of definite chlorosis. How much water and sun do they need? I followed the instructions and have been bringing it in at night but I think I might be over watering. It is a really hot weekend....

Any advice would be appreciated. I am a first year landscape architecture student who has a black thumb....If I kill this guy, my confidence will be shot...


Thanks,

They need ALL the sun you can provide, heat, & want to go very dry between waterings.

I have 3 that I put outside just a bit early this year which means they got touched by the frost, killing all or most of the leaves...they have filled in beautifully.. If you'e in 6B and it's the end of May, why bring it in?

PS will try to post pictures later.
