| I bought one at home depot it came in a small short pot with tiny rocks of some sort so I thought it was a indoor plant I kept it inside my home forgot about it for a week I look up and see my tree dead all leaves dried up shrivled up so I took it down gently removed the leaves that were already falling off by themselves already. I clipped some dead pieces of the tree and where I thought it needed to be clipped but the tree looks nets just say misrable. I watered it tremedisly and put it outside where it is humid and hot i put some plant food in the rocks Does anyone have any other idea's I would like for it to be a large tree to plant outside is that possible? Is there any other way to help this 30.00 plant that is no bigger then 4'' with not one single leaf or flower on it Someone please help me do something with this beautiful tree |

| Damn...glad you didn't buy a dog or a puppy. It's a tropical, chances are if you water it or stick it in the ground (without the pot) and begin to care for it, it will begin to grow. Most tropicals are very forgiving. Bob |

| Nikki, I don't have any room to talk! As a result, I have found that Bougainvillea is incredibly forgiving. To restore it, keep it with your orchids, and water it a little more often. If those rocks are the ones that are glued on--they often are in the box stores--remove them, too. The glue is toxic to the plant, and you can always apply loose ones, later. Once it has lots of new growth, give it more sun than your orchids to encourage bloom. Good luck! : ]) |
