how much sun for my bougy after rootprune?
Hey was just curious how much sun my bouganvillea should be getting here in perth after a decent root prune ? It is currently in little dappled morning sun but has been slow to recover regards

I am guided by the leaves - if they are still wilted leave it in the shade. If they are upright and strong then slowly move it into the sun.

Perfect timing can I ask what is an acceptable amount you can reduce the root ball?
