From what I had seen on you tube about how to raise a bougainvillea plant: That we don't have to worry because in Greece, they only water their bougainvilleas once a week and still survive(s). Bougainvilleas are woody, sturdy plant. It's a crawler and entangles itself to its support.
How to provide support for bougainvillea if its planted on ceramic pot? Just look at what I did, re:photo above. I have three bamboo poles planted inside the ceramic and acted as support for the plant to climb up instead of crawling outside of the ceramic pot.
If you live in tropical islands with temperate tropical weather temperature you can just plant it along the fence and let it crawl until the fence is covered. Or you can build an arbor or arc.
I have the bougainvillea on ceramic pot so that I can place it inside the house for the long duration of winter then out again at the patio during spring and summer time.
My bougainvillea is now 4 months old and stands 5 ft. tall. Wow!
