Hello everyone, I recently bought some Bougainvillea in zone 8a, but I've had trouble with yellowing leaves. Any ideas?

Bougainvillea is a heavy feeder so I would try fertilizing. If you're already fertilizing maybe more often or a slow release fertilizer. Also, if you're not familiar with bougainvillea you might want to do a little research on pruning. Bougainvillea blooms on new wood so it's important to prune it at least annually.
