There is an organ called "leaf pillow" at the bottom of the petiole of Mimosa pudica. It contains relatively rich parenchyma cells. These cells are very sensitive. As soon as they are stimulated by the outside world, the cell fluid in the cells will flow to elsewhere, thereby reducing cell expansion. This reduces the pressure on the cells of the leaf pillow and causes the leaves to appear closed. This is what the outside world sees as the Mimosa leaves closing automatically as soon as they are touched.
1. The secret of mimosa
Mimosa, also called induction grass and mimosa, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Leguminosae family. It is native to tropical areas of America and is generally found in shrubs. There are generally more than a dozen pairs of symmetrically distributed leaves on its leaf stems, which look like a feather and are emerald green in color. It will also bloom, but the flowers are smaller and white and pink in color, which has a better ornamental effect.

Because of this "secret" of Mimosa pudica, its leaves are very good at predicting weather and predicting earthquakes. Because the leaves of Mimosa generally open on sunny days and during the day, and close at night and on rainy days. If its leaves close slowly and open quickly after being stimulated, it means it may be cloudy or raining. If it closes quickly and then opens slowly, it means the weather is about to clear up. And if it suddenly opens its leaves at night or closes its leaves during the day, it means that an earthquake may be coming soon.
