Bougainvillea

I can't figure out what's wrong with my bougainvillea.  Up until a month ago it was bright pink, but the bracts have all turned brown/died.  I've googled, with no help.  It's getting water (10 mins a day on a drip) and the leaves are still green and healthy looking. There a little bit of new blooms here and there, so I know it's not dead.  The one in the neighbor's yard behind us is colorful and bright, so I can't figure out what's wrong with it. 
 
Any ideas?

Re: Bougainvillea

  • How long ago did you plant it?  They don't like change so it may take a while for it to come out of shock.  If everything else is good, give it a month to snap out of it. 

    How much sun is it getting?  They like a lot of sun.  They don't bloom well if they don't have sun for a min of 5 hours a day. 

    Also, it may not be getting enough water.  They like lots of it and 10 minute drip in AZ may not be cutting it.  Can you water at least twice a day?
