#mimosa pudica
My Mimosa Pudica has healed from shipping & now I’m ready to show her off !! Look at her baby leaves at the bottom
My mimosa pudica before blooming, after blooming and after a pruning
Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica)
This plant will bring hours of entertainment to kids of any age. The Sensitive Plant actually moves when you touch its leaves. The fine leaflets open in the daylight, yet when touched will collapse downward. Give them an hour or so and up they’ll come again. As plants mature, they form small pink puffs of bloom adding an extra benefit to this unique species.

the circled seedling is a mimosa pudica. Which is a plant i tried to grow from seed sometime earlier. Indoors. (At least one did germinate and grow… until i forgot to water it for too long oops). Aaaaaand i have no clue how the seed got there, into the strawberry pot outside. Teleported??
The photo above is from july 2021, i left the seedling where it was, wanted to wait until it grows a bit bigger before moving it to its own pot.
And then i completely forgot.
And then, in october 2021, i decided to post my old pbotos on ye olde hellsite, and stumbled upon this one. Which like. 3 months later and after first frost
but
she survived
replanted into her own pot, with a big chunk of “original” soil, so hopefully it won’t be too much of a shock for her

Mimosa pudica, sensitive plant, is an amazing example of rapid plant movement.
The plant is sold as a novelty for children [YouTube].
