Photos are one month apart. What is going on with the leaves? They’re all wilting and falling off since I got this bougainvillea a month ago. I water approx every 1.5 weeks or when top 1-2 inches feel dry.
I’m in Zone 10 in coastal California and the bougainvillea lives outside on a south facing porch with full sun in morning and afternoons.
We had a week of rainy and cold spells last week so wondering if that’s part of the issue?

I wouldn’t be concerned if it was losing flowers, but death of foliage, there’s a problem
1.5 weeks for the surface to dry out tells me your plant is in need of more light, better draining soil, and/or less frequent watering.
Can you give a close up of some of the foliage?
