Bougainvillea Needs Help Flowering

| Hi,
Appreciate any help and suggestions on how to get my bougainvillea to flower. Had a couple here and there, but
very sparse.I have given it Osmocote every 3 months for so. It's only 8 months old. As you can see the leaves seems pretty healthy, just no flowers.
Thanks for the help!

| What is the nutrient analysis on the Osmocote? You may be using too much nitrogen fertilizer which will stimulate lush green growth instead of flowers. |

| Thanks Judy, I think you are right, it appears the osmocote has 19-6-12, sounds a little high in the nitrogen. I will use something else with less nitrogen and see what happens. |
