But yeah, don't expect a Bougainvillea to go crazy and thrive when it's
potted. They are a big expansive plant. One notable bougainvillea I
remember
at ASU grew up the side of a three story building covering all 3 floors
about 15 to 18 feet wide. The base was about a foot across.




And yet I have seen some really well grown container bogies- most notably at
bonsai shows. My favorite bonsai shop has one I would kill to own. I have
several potted ones, but yes, summer management is tough.
