Can Plumeria pudica be used for bonsai?

Hi Alyceusvi,
I live in an apartment in Melbourne (Australia) and hoping to grow Plumeria in my balcony. I look forward to bonsaiing a plant as I haven't got much space. Have you tried yours, and how was the results? I'd like to share the experiences. Thanks.

You can certainly grow it in a small container, but I have a hard time visualizing a plant with leaves 20-30cm long being called bonsai. It might work if the tree were well branched and about 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 meters.

Have fun with it.
