Mimosa Pudica???

[Bonsaikev1985]

Sorry not bonsai related, but it is a "plant in pot" makes it bonsai I guess lol. last winter I bought some Mimi's pidica seeds. Tried it about 7 and 4 took. Gave 3 away and I kept one. So it's been since February and the one I have is doing great!! Pink flowers, new growth, ect... well my question is can I wire it gently to shape? The trunk of it comes up about 1-2 inches and splits in a Y shape. I kind of just wanted to gently wrap it and guide the branches up just a bit. I know they are creepers in the wild but just want to bend up a bit to conserve some room on my bench. Asking only because I know there super sensitive and wasn't sure if this slight movement would stress them. Any advice be great!! Thanks!!!

Better to just grow and clip.
Also aim for a 1 inch trunk as they can do it.
So you can have a mame' [ 1 inch trunk to 6 inch height or width ]
May only live 10 to 20 years, but enjoy.
Good Day

So when ya say clip and grow... I can just chop them way back to 1-2 nodes and it won't harm them? And if so when chopped back will 2 grow out? Trying to get them busy like I see in some videos
