I have repeatedly read, with regard to Bougainvillea, that one should not disturb the rootball. From Gardener's World, the first link I Googled: "When planting your Bougainvillea, make sure you do not disturb the root ball. It is very important that these plants be transplanted with extreme care. "

Look out, Mythbusters. Last fall, I pulled my one and only Boug from it's 24" pot. The plant had become unmanageable and extremely heavy.
