Is bougainvillea suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Bougainvillea is suitable for planting in shallow pots. Because its roots are not very developed, it generally does not need to be planted in a pot that is too deep. Deep pots are not conducive to drainage and may cause water to accumulate at the roots for a long time.

Bougainvillea can be grown in a purple clay pot, because the air permeability of the purple clay pot is very strong and its ornamental value is also relatively high, so it is more appropriate to use a purple clay pot to grow Bougainvillea.
