    I started watering my struggling bougainvillea with a dilution of liquid bokashi, and I’m amazed to report that the leaves are now twice as long and twice as wide as a normal leaf. Too bad it doesn’t do the same with the flowers! It looks really vigorous and healthy.

    This is a plant we can only grow as a houseplant and put out during the summer, so I’ve never gotten one. But every time I see a photo on someone’s blog, I get more and more tempted….

    Erika, are the flowers no longer struggling, at least?

    Jodi, they’re really gorgeous…really.
