I do not, but that sounds interesting.

It's interesting but you cannot wire it because the stems will snap. That means you have to be great at pruning

I was actually considering doing this! I have an awesome looking poinsettia that I found at Home Depot for 2 dollars this year with the most amazing color and branching. I was going to cut it back in a few weeks and start the transformation. Now I'll document it! Here is a photo of the color.

cut the red leaves off it will grow faster also a branch grows from where a leaf falls out.they get woody so it will look good :)

That was exactly what I was going to do, I want to give it another week or so first... it looks too cool to just chop right now!

The leaves chop them off or just cut the entire thing down 4 or 6 inches. The flower tops (where the yellow part is) will fall off eventually if you decide to just cut some leaves. Don't worry about the bleeding it will be ok.i would post an update on mine but they are having little noticeable growth atm.

OH! I forgot this is right after I chopped their heads off

Would you like yo see the all ready started bonsai????

Sure!

Here it is its growing in after another cut back.

Hi
I have the "blessing ,curse of being able to grow them outdoors where they grow into monsters lol. I never keep up with the pruning,feeding over the year so result is far below what is possible . Can't think of a more ideal plant for Bonsai . Good luck with it gary.

Thank you it's a great plant I hate when people toss them my church has so many to give away I don't know what I'm going to do with all of them

Michael that looks awesome! I love how woody you've managed to get the stem! I just cut mine back! Here's a few pics.
