Should start from 1 - 2 hours slowly to increase sunshine, until the full day.
When Mimosa grows to about 5cm, it can start to apply fertilizer. Topdressing once a week can make Mimosa grow fast, leaves green ~
At this time, the seedlings are relatively small. We should pay strict attention to the "thin fertilizer and diligent application". Do not use too thick, which will cause the seedlings to burn badly.
With the growing and growing, the seeded pot has been unable to meet the needs of its growth. At this time, we need to change pots for it. Prepare a 15-18cm flowerpot and plant it.
In order to grow well, a topping operation can be carried out. Remove the top 2cm, so that the lower branches can grow. You can get a big pot of Mimosa.
Mimosa generally has few diseases and insect pests, the most common pest is slug, if found, can sprinkle some lime powder for control. If the plant is not growing well, check whether the light source is insufficient or the water is insufficient.

Mimosa is a way for plants to protect themselves by closing their leaves. Mimosa's hometown is in Far South America, where there are often strong winds and heavy rain. Whenever the first drop of rain hit the leaves, it quickly closed them.
This is because there is a part called "leaf pillow" at the base of the petiole of Mimosa. There are parenchyma cells in the leaf pillow. When the leaves are touched by the outside world, the vibration is transmitted to the leaf pillow. At this time, the cell fluid in the parenchyma cells immediately flows to the cell gap and reduces the expansion ability of the cells. The leaves close automatically, and the petioles and shoots droop at the same time. After a few minutes of "calm waves", they It's back to normal again
