New Pot for Old Bougain....

We had a WANDA's gotong-royong last Saturday and some pots were to be thrown away. Not wanting to waste these still-good pots I decided to take one to replace a broken one at home. Yes, for the bougainvillae...

So, this morning the red flowered bougain was transferred to a 'new' pot. Small stones were first put in to cover the drain hole, followed by some black soil. The root ball of the bougain was loosen up a bit. Had become harden after about 2 years in the pot. Fertilizer was then scattered around the plant. Done.... with a little help from daughter to lift the heavy pot onto two bricks.

Now, what am I going to do with the two broken pieces of the old pot? Any ideas?
