I was given a "money tree" by a family member who thought it would make a good gift because they knew I was into bonsai. Well, money trees aren't my cup of tea, but out of respect, I kept it and took care of it. The instructions on the tag said to let it dry out thoroughly, even the term "bone dry" was on the tag, then water well, and allow to dry out again. The little thing couldn't be healthier!

As far as bougainvillea goes, I have never worked with them, and have nothing to offer.
