Re: Bouganvillea bonsai dying(dead?)

If it gets cold, a bougainvillea may try to behave as a deciduous plant by shedding its leaves.

Frost can kill the entire plant, or parts of it, so it needs to be overwintered with protection from frost.

Chances are good that it is not entirely dead. If it doesn't leaf out in spring you can try scraping the bark near the soil line with a fingernail. If it is green, that's good. If it is brown, that is bad.

Regards,

Matt
