Bougainvillea is a plant with poor cold tolerance. When maintained in the north, if protective measures are taken, it will not be frozen. But if it is outdoors and not protected from the cold, it is very easy to get frozen. Winter maintenance requires adjusting the temperature to above 15°C. When winter comes, it needs to be moved indoors and placed in a place with sufficient sunlight. Don't water too much, just keep the soil slightly moist.

Bougainvillea's cold tolerance is relatively poor. If it is maintained outdoors in the north without any protective measures, it will be very easy to freeze to death.

< p>1. Maintenance environment: After entering winter, it needs to be kept indoors for maintenance, but northern areas generally have heating or floor heating. If this is the case, place it further away from the heater. In addition, air circulation should be enhanced, otherwise the plant's breathing will be blocked.

2. Sufficient light: During the winter, not only After the temperature is adjusted, it must continue to receive light, and it must be maintained in a relatively sunny environment. If it does not see sunlight throughout the winter, its growth vitality will be reduced and leaves may fall off.

3. Appropriate watering: When the temperature is low, the growth rate of plants will slow down, and watering should be reduced. The soil in the pot should be moist, but not too wet. It will not have much impact if it is slightly dry. It should be noted that the water temperature of watering cannot be too low and must be at room temperature, otherwise it will stimulate its root system when poured into the soil.
