Description

Description of Mimosa pudica:
- Mimosa pudica is a strange plant characterized by its ability to fold its leaves at the slightest touch, a phenomenon called thigmonasty. This reaction is a form of defense against predators, making the plant less attractive to them.
- In addition to its responsive foliage, Mimosa pudica produces small, round, pink to lilac blue flowers, which are very decorative. These flowers appear from mid-spring to early fall and are grouped in axillary clusters.
- Although Mimosa pudica is a perennial plant that can live a long time, it loses its beauty as it ages.
Cultivation Tips:
- Mimosa pudica seeds can be sown in spring.
- The plant prefers a sunny or partially shaded location and well-drained soil.
- Water regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Mimosa pudica can be grown in pots or in the ground in regions with a suitable climate.
