I just bought a Bougainvillea (about 3 feet high, leggy, and blooming --
one gallon container) .

I can't help with the cotoneaster, but the Bougie is not cold hardy
and will be damaged by frost and killed by a freeze.
Bougies love to be pruned and even root pruned, but be careful of
water and don't let it remain wet. Also dead wood rots very fast.
If this is a standard variety of Bougie it will need to be a large
Bonsai. If it is one of the dwarf forms that is better.
Bougies get leggy with too little light.
