Bougainvillea is the one plant in the range whose label asks you to let the soil go fully dry between waterings, not just mostly — it flowers hardest when it is not too comfortable. The feed is a 3-3.6-5.1: nitrogen is the smallest of the three numbers, with phosphate and potash above it. Calcium (2.1%) and magnesium (0.75%) come with it, plus 0.08% sulfur and a light micronutrient package, and a little seaweed.
2 Tbs (30 mL) per gallon in a watering can, or the 1 oz (30 mL) setting on a hose-end sprayer. Every 1–2 weeks in spring and summer, then every 2–4 weeks in fall and winter — a wider winter gap than most of the range. Direct, bright light is what the label asks for.

Every 1–2 weeks
Every 1–2 weeks through spring and summer, then every 2–4 weeks in fall and winter. That winter gap is wider than most of the range gives — don’t carry a four-weekly habit over from another plant.
Neither, in the granular sense. It’s a liquid concentrate you dilute and pour or spray on, so the nutrients reach the soil already dissolved rather than breaking down over months. That’s why the label has you feed on a repeating schedule instead of once a season.
This one is 3-3.6-5.1 — nitrogen is the smallest of the three, with 3.6% phosphate and 5.1% potash above it. If you have read that bougainvillea wants less nitrogen and more phosphorus, that is the shape of this analysis, and the numbers are there to check rather than take on trust.
2 Tbs (30 mL) per gallon of water in a watering can, or a hose-end sprayer on the 1 oz (30 mL) setting for a larger plant. If you’d rather mist the leaves, the label gives 1 tsp per quart (32 oz).
Yes — same mix, same schedule. The label’s watering note is the one to pay attention to in a pot: moderate watering, with the soil allowed to go fully dry between waterings, under direct bright light.
The label doesn’t make a claim either way. What it gives you is one rate — 2 Tbs (30 mL) per gallon, or the 1 oz setting on a hose-end sprayer — and a schedule to go with it. Stay on both, and measure rather than eyeball.
