Wow, 32* is cold for those plants! Those are all plants that can't take frost.
I have brugmansia too & keep them in sunroom for winter, but I also cover them to keep it dark. You know, there is a thread here in Main discussion that I read thru called "Time to put the bananas to sleep for winter". Frank gives details along with pics of how he digs up his nanas & puts them to sleep. I did this one year & it worked.
All I can say is keep reading here & most likely you find answers.
When the nanas are actively growing, they need a lot of food. I use a 15-5-30 w/ micro's.
