What to do about Yellow Bougainvillea leaves?

Anthony
by Anthony
My small potted Bougainvillea plant which has not bloomed for me all Summer here in the NYC area, is now starting to show signs of yellow leaves. There was no lack of sun or water, so why the yellowing?

    Hello Korevette; I am very sorry that the links did not work.

    I can try to repost them, if you wish.

    However, Please try this for your plants.

    Before watering the plant, add about a Tablespoon of Epsom salts to the soil. Lightly work it in, then water well.

    More than likely, your plant needs Magnesium!!!

    I hope that this helps. If not, please let me know, and I will research again for you.

    Take Care!

    I have a clematis that has yellow leaves when it is about a foot tall and then from then on up they are green .....I always thought I should fertilize them but haven't yet.
