Hi, Sorry for my late reply. Bougainvillea make great flowering bonsai. My tree is about 15 years old, I have had it for 8 years. Suggest you repot yours into a bonsai pot in the autumn once the growth has slowed down, and before you bring it indoors. I live in a region of Spain with a climate like So. California. so have no experience of indoor growing but would suggest an indoor location with plenty of bright light and mist the foliage regularly. Mine tolerate temperatures down to about 4oCelsius in winter.
