Primary Growth

In plants, growth in length is accomplished primarly through the activity of apical meristems.

New leaves start out as just a few cells: the leaf primordia.

Mitosis (cell division) occurs continuously in the apical meristems and cell enlargement then results in the increase in size of the leaf primoridia.
