Control temperature: When raising bougainvillea in winter, you need to move it to an indoor temperature of about 15°C before the temperature drops to 5°C to prevent it from freezing. Ventilation and lighting: During winter maintenance, you should ventilate it regularly and let it receive more sunlight, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter. Control water and stop fertilization: In winter, watering should be appropriately reduced and fertilization should be suspended. Wait until the temperature rises next year before increasing watering frequency and resuming fertilization.

1. Control the temperature

1. Control the temperature

The most important thing when raising bougainvillea in winter is to control the temperature. Because the temperature in winter is very low, if it is not controlled well, it will cause the plant to be frozen and affect its growth in the coming year. Specifically, it is recommended to move it to a place where the indoor temperature is around 15℃ before the temperature drops to 5℃. Wait until the temperature rises to around 15-20℃ next year before considering leaving the house.

2. Ventilation and lighting

In winter, you need to pay attention to ventilating it. Because winter is very cold, windows are generally not opened at home for ventilation. If it is placed in such a place with poor ventilation for a long time, it will cause poor growth. Therefore, attention should be paid to opening windows regularly for ventilation. In addition, you should also pay attention during maintenance. At this time, you can let it receive more sunlight, which can help it synthesize more nutrients and is also very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

3. Control water and stop fertilizers

In winter, its growth rate will slow down, not as fast as in spring and autumn, and it does not require as much water and nutrients as in spring and autumn. Therefore, at this time, attention should be paid to reducing the supply of water and nutrients. Control watering appropriately and stop fertilizing to allow it to use the nutrients in the soil to sustain life. This will prevent heavy water and fertilizer from causing damage to its root system. When the temperature rises next year and its growth accelerates, you can then increase the frequency of watering and resume fertilizing.
