Bougainvillea question

9 years ago

I live in NYC and bought a Bougie from a California supplier that came in a 5" pot and almost 3 1/2 feet tall with gorgeous purple bracts...I don't call them flowers.For about a month of a sunny patio exposure, the bracts began to fall off slowly. With Fall approaching, and the weather cooling, I brought it indoors to my sunny window...which gets less light as the patio, but the leaves stayed strong. After about a month of that exposure, i noticed a couple of days ago, new purple bracts emerging. Now, here is the rub...at this same time, the leaves are starting to fall off and looks like it will get bare within a week. What puzzles me, new bracts coming at the same time that the leaves are dropping. I only watered it when I noticed the leaves starting to wilt, but not fall off...now I am beyond myself not to know what to do, if anything at this stage.
