Hi. This is my first message to the group although member since amost a
year.

I've grown from seed several rhododendron and plumeria plants and would
like to try making bonsai on this challenging and non-tipical species.

has anyone ever tried this species or related species? if so, please
let me know. I'd like to stay in touch so to exchange experiences,
thoughts, etc

warm regards

I don't know much about these plants, but from a quick google search it
looks like Plumeria have awfully large leaves. There are some
rhododendrons with tiny leaves, and others with large leaves. Large
leafed plants are not usually considered suitable for bonasi. If you
have species with small leaves, I think you could make it work.
