Mimosa is a perennial herb of the Leguminosae family, so named because its leaves will close when stimulated. There are three steps to growing mimosa. Before planting, soak the seeds in warm water, then prepare loose and fertile soil and fill it in the pot, and then water it thoroughly; plant the two soaked seeds into the pot soil, then sprinkle some thin soil, and cover the pot with plastic film. Wrap it up and keep it in a place with scattered light; after the seedlings emerge, tear off the plastic film and gradually increase the light. When they grow to three centimeters, transplant the seedlings. Pay attention to transplanting with soil.

1. How to plant mimosa

Preparation before planting: Mimosa can be planted in spring and autumn, when the temperature is more suitable and will not be too cold or too hot. Before planting, the seeds can be soaked in warm water between 30 degrees and below 40 degrees for more than three hours. After preparing the soil, you need to choose a loose and fertile substrate as much as possible, or you can prepare it yourself. You can mix garden soil, leaf mold soil and fine yellow sand into the pot, and then add an appropriate amount of culture soil to fill the pot until it is seven to eight minutes full. Then water the potting soil, making sure it is thoroughly watered.

Planting method: bury the seeds that have been soaked in advance You only need to plant one or two seeds in the soil about 0.5 centimeters deep. Too many is not good. After planting, sprinkle a few thin layers of soil, about three to four centimeters deep. Then wrap the entire flowerpot with plastic wrap to keep the soil moist. Put it in a place with scattered light for curing, and control the temperature at about 15 to 20 degrees. Wait about two weeks for the seeds to emerge.

Emergence culture: After the seedlings emerge, you can tear off the plastic film, and then gradually increase the light to gradually adapt to the outside light. When watering, be sure to "see dry and wet". When the seedlings are about three centimeters tall and have five or six true leaves, they can be transplanted and divided into seedlings for planting. When transplanting, pay attention to transplanting with soil. New seedlings are relatively fragile and need careful maintenance. After transplanting, first place it in a semi-shady place for maintenance. After the seedling slowing is completed, you can maintain it in a sunny place.

2. Information about Mimosa

Mimosa, also known as induction grass, mimosa, ugly grass and shy grass, is a perennial herb of the leguminous family. It is native to tropical areas of America and is commonly found in bushes and wastelands. The leaves of Mimosa will react to external light and heat. Once they are shaken or touched by external force, they will close. This is how it gets its name.

Each leaf stem has more than a dozen pairs of symmetrically distributed leaves, which are generally feather-shaped. It will also bloom, but the flowers are smaller and white and pink in color, which has a better ornamental effect.

The leaves of Mimosa can predict weather changes and major natural disasters. People can keep some at home. But because it contains strong alkaline and releases carbon dioxide at night, it is best to keep it on the balcony.
