Avoid Bougainvillea Freeze Damage, Jan 24, 2026

It's January 2026 and the temperatures are dropping quickly.

Freezing Rain is expected. I cut back the bougainvilleas in the ground and covered them with a small ice chest.

Bougainvillea Greenhouse
This greenhouse isn't warm enough on it's own, so I added a pet heater that I'll turn on for the next 48 hours.

Bougainvillea Greenhouse just doesn't cut it
In 2022 I lost several bougainvilleas without the pet heater, the pet heater helped last year and hope it helps them through these next couple of freezing days.

Cuttings in the Storage Room
I placed the cuttings in the storage room, hopefully they'll be warm enough.

These young bougainvilleas got to come inside the house and they'll be warm and cozy with a grow light on them.

This bougainvillea didn't fit in the greenhouse, so it had to come inside with the kitty kids.
