Default [IBC] Collecting large bougainvillea

Some holes in the bag will limit the temperature raise while still
keeping a good hygrometry (in any case, direct sun should be avoided during
first weeks).

You don't need to find a huge bag. Little bags put on the branchs is
enough

This will depend upon the sun intensity where the plant is

collected. Here
in Florida it would cook the plant.

And a Bougie with a 10-inch trunk would take a LARGE bag. I
don't know of any clear bags that are large size; the big ones
are white or black.

Misting a few times a day probably would be better.
