Hi! If you find your bougainvillea has lots of green growth and no blooms, it's probably because of an excessive amount of nitrogen fertilizer. Like other plants, too much nitrogen encourages bougainvillea to add lots of vegetative parts like leaves and stems at the expense of buds. Too much water can inhibit blooming too, but in excessive amounts... nurseries will often restrict watering to force young plants to bloom. Pruning really should be done once the plant is dormant, in late fall or early spring to promote healthy growth and blooms. Hope this helps a bit,,,😊 and goodluck!
