Thumbs up My Latest Bougie

I bought this bougainvillea two weeks ago and potted it today. At the nursury what caught my eye was the movement in the trunk and the exposed roots. The day I bought it, I came home and searched online for a pot. I removed one branch that was growing straight out from where the trunk curves. Other than that, I left it the way it was when I bought it.

Does anyone think I should refine it in any other way? I do plan to add some moss and not rice crispies. Lol.

I live in an apartment complex and keep all my bonsai on my small patio on the third floor. One day I looked down from my balcony and noticed moss growing on the ground in the corner of the apartment building. I found it growing in almost every corner of the entire complex. At night, the sprinklers come on for a couple of hours which allows for the moss to thrive in the heat of South Texas. I don't ever want to move again!
