How to fertilize Bougainvillea Kini

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Bougainvillea Kini after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I have a couple of these and they were thriving but all of a sudden they are starting to look sad. I can’t tell if I am overwatering them or under.

What is my new plant? Anyone know what this guy is? Also, his leaves have started turning yellow on the edges. Any ideas what would be causing this?

Acclimation? Just got this Blueberry Ice Bougainvillea seedling from a vendor on Etsy in Florida, it was in transit for about 4 days. I’ve got 3 total seedlings. One inside and the other two outside (one in shade - the other direct sun), what is the acclimation period for these approximately? I’m in zone 9B. I do expect them to drop leaves from shipping and the new environment. They’re currently planted in succulent/cactus miracle gro but will soon be put in 2/5 Japanese Hard Akadama - 1/5 Hyuga Pumice - 1/5 Black Lava Rock - 1/5 Pine Bark to raise as a Bonsai. Any advice? #Bougainvillea #NewGrowth #PlantAddict

Am I over or under watering? I've watered my bougainvillea twice since I got it (about a week and a half ago). The leaves are soft and droopy and have fallen off drastically. The soil feels super dry, but the leaves got more yellow after I last watered it. #Bougainvillea

Why is my bougainvillea plant dying? #LesserBougainvillea

Help! Spider mites! My Bougainvillea is starting to show signs of spider mites infestation. It has the telltale spots on a few leaves so far and I observed around 10ish white specks. I know it’s spider mites cause I had to get rid of my potted lettuce that had webs already. My Bougainvillea is doing good so far and is in the process of growing a bunch of new leaves. I would like to help the plant before it gets any worse. I would hate to lose this gorgeous plant #LesserBougainvillea
