Mimosa has a strong habit and grows rapidly. The growing season can be placed on the balcony or yard, and the soil is required to be deep, fertile and moist. In winter, it should be moved to the indoor window sill, and the indoor temperature is about 10℃, which can safely overwinter.

In sunny conditions, the roots grow rapidly and need to be watered every day. When summer is hot and dry, water should be poured once in the morning and once in the evening. Without water, the leaves will droop and turn yellow, and they will never close when touched. Top dressing 1 time every half month at seedling stage. If you don't want the plant shape to be too large, you should reduce the amount of fertilization.

Mimosa leaves are very small and arranged in feather shape. When it touches the leaves, it will close. If the vibration can spread the stimulus to the whole leaf, the total petiole will droop, and it may even be transmitted to the adjacent leaves, making its petiole droop.

Mimosa is born in the wilderness, beside mountains and streams, in grass or bushes. Both the north and south of the Yangtze River are cultivated, mainly for viewing. Distributed in the southwest and Fujian, Taiwan Province, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and other places.

Extended data:

Mimosa leaves will close within 0.08 seconds after being stimulated. After stimulation, the conduction speed is also very fast, and the highest speed reaches 10 cm per second.

After stimulation, after a short period of time, everything slowly returned to normal, the leaflets expanded again, and the petiole stood up. The recovery time is generally 5- 10 minutes.

However, if we continue to tease and stimulate its leaves one by one, we will feel "bored" and no longer respond. This is because the continuous stimulation makes the cell fluid in the occipital lobe cells lose and cannot be replenished in time.
