Bonsai are carefully styled to maintain miniaturization, to suggest age, and to meet the artist's aesthetic goals. Tree styling also occurs in a larger scale in other practices like topiary and niwaki. In bonsai, however, the artist has close control over every feature of the tree, because it is small and (in its container) easily moved and ...
The Japanese tradition of bonsai does not include indoor bonsai, and bonsai appearing at Japanese exhibitions or in catalogs have been grown outdoors for their entire lives. In less-traditional settings, including climates more severe than Japan's, indoor bonsai may appear in the form of potted trees cultivated for the indoor environment.
The leaves will wilt slightly at the edges when the plant is in need of water. Bonsai mints are not as fast-growing relative to traditional mints but have sturdy trunks that quickly thicken and gain a wood-like texture over time. They gain a mature appearance quicker than traditional bonsai tree species, and they are less rigid but more fragile.
The leaves have a 3–10-millimetre-long (1 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 8 in) stem. The leaf blade is ovate to ovate-lanceolate, pointed or briefly pointed, 5 to 13 centimeters long and 3 to 6 centimeters wide, sparsely fluffy hairy on the underside and bald on the top.
The leaves themselves are simple and ovate to oblong-ovate with serrated or crenate margins, to which the tree owes its specific epithet serrata. The leaves are acuminate or apiculate, rounded or subcordate at the base, and contain 8–14 pairs of veins. The leaves are rough on top and glabrous or nearly glabrous on the underside. They are ...
The leaves are lanceolate to obovate, roughly toothed and glabrous even when young. They are 4 to 5 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide, including the petiole . The unusually large stipules are 1 centimeter long and 1.5 to 2 centimeters wide, kidney-shaped and serrated on the edge; they are only found on long shoots.
The pale glossy to dull leaf blade is 5 to 12 cm (2 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) cm long and 2 to 6 cm (1 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) wide. Near the leaf margins are yellow crystal cells ("cystolites"). The two membranous, deciduous stipules are not fused, lanceolate and 6 to 12 mm (1 ⁄ 4 to 1 ⁄ 2 inch) (rarely to 15 mm or 9 ⁄ 16 inch) long. [8] F ...
