    These have to remain growing during the winter. They will want to be treated like a houseplant, and will not tolerate a true dormancy. You will have to cut them back to the living growth and fertilize once they come back. This article will give you more information on how to winter these properly: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/bougainvillea/bougainvillea-winter-care.htm

    Bougainvillea are cold sensitive. Temperatures of 32 - 40 degrees F will likely kill the plant.

    If they are in containers they are more vulnerable to cold damage.

    Bougainvilleas are frequently grown in pots both to restrict their size and because they grow well as a bonsai. Bougainvillea bloom best in pots when their root system is restricted so re-potting is kept to a minimum. If you do need to re-pot your bougainvillea, you should gently break the pot from around the roots if at all possible to avoid disturbance. If this is not possible, use a pallet knife to ease the roots from the sides of the pot as opposed to simply ripping the plant out.

    Bougainvillea roots are also extremely sensitive to too much water. Roots that sit in water, even for a short period, often develop root or stem rot and plant death.
    Bougainvillea roots require phosphorus for proper growth and development; feeding the plant a high phosphorus fertilizer will help to keep the roots as strong as possible.
