Description
This young specimen of Three-vein Clearweed (Pilea trinervia) displays a natural informal-upright growth habit, characterized by its vibrant green, ovate leaves with distinct three-veined patterns. Small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers are clustered in the leaf axils, indicating it is currently in bloom. While not a traditional woody bonsai, its unique foliage and upright form could be considered for a herbaceous bonsai subject.
