I bought a lovely bougainvillea from a nursery that was just BEGGING to be trained. I wanted to let it grow just a little bit more before I begin training it, so I repotted it into a more suitable container (1.5 gallons).
The plant looked fine after the repotting (perhaps a week ago), but has been looking rather sad as of late. The leaves are drooping, which I know to be a universal sign of thirst, though I have been making sure that the soil is moist, but not wet, when I water it. I have also been letting the soil dry out between waterings because I have read that bougies like dry spells between waterings. Regardless, I'm not sure if there is something I should be doing.
It is fairly hot in Ann Arbor, Michigan (80's in F / high 20's in C), the plant gets direct sun from 8 am to 4 pm. the plant is in plain potting soil mixed in with its original soil (also potting soil).
I'd appreciate any advice any of you have.
