Bougainvilla wants sun and dry soil.  I have one on my deck, where it gets
about 6, myabe 7 hours of sun a day.  It does OK.  I bring it in in the
winter and keep it in a south window next to the fig tree and it bloomed in
February.

Blooms on new growth, so cut it back pretty hard in early spring.
