Mimosa pudica, also known as the "sensitive plant", is a fascinating plant that reacts to the slightest touch by folding its leaves, giving it a unique appearance.. Here's what you need to know about this intriguing plant :
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 reactive foliage, Mimosa pudica produces small, round, pink to lilac-blue flowers that are very decorative.. These flowers appear from mid-spring to early autumn and are grouped in axillary bouquets.
Although Mimosa pudica is a perennial plant that can live a long time, it loses its beauty as it ages.
Culture Tips :
Mimosa pudica seeds can be sown in spring.
The plant prefers a sunny or partially shaded location and well-drained soil.
