When a bonsai stops growing you know it's dead

Bonsai is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers. Bonsai is created with a source material such as a cutting, seedling or small tree. Bonsai can be created from nearly any woody-stemmed tree or shrub that produces true branches and can be cultivated to remain small through pot confinement with crown and root pruning. There are lots of different styles of bonsai including indoor and outdoor. There's a wonderful display in my local park. There's no scale here but this one is about 10cm tall.

Patience is only needed for something you do not enjoy.
