Mimosa piduca is a perennial herb, maybe we rarely notice it, because the whole plant is green, so it is not so eye-catching. The plants of mimosa piduca are small and cute, so there are many flower friends who raise mimosa piduca home, so when are mimosa piduca planted and what is the method of planting mimosa piduca? 


1. Mimosa piduca is best for planting in spring
I believe that all flower lovers know that spring is the most suitable season for planting. The weather at this time is neither cold nor hot, and the humidity of the air is quite moderate. Sowing in this weather is very conducive to the rooting and germination of seeds after planting. So mimosa piduca is no exception.


2. Choose seeds
We should choose some big, ripe and full fruits to sow. Seeds of mimosa piduca should be planted as soon as possible after picking. If we cannot sow at that time, store it in a container filled with dry fine sand and take it out when it is sowed.


3. Treat seeds
Take out the prepared mimosa piduca seeds and soak them in warm water at about 30 degrees. If the length of time is controlled within one day, it will be more conducive for the seeds to absorb water and germinate normally after planting.


4. Prepare potting soil
Mimosa piduca is suitable for growing in acidic soil, so we can prepare some soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Generally, 20% rotting leaves soil, 30% vegetable garden soil, and 50% fine sand can be used. Then choose a ceramic basin with good air permeability.


5. Ready to plant
Spray the soil in the pot with water and wait until the water has penetrated into the soil to put the mimosa piduca seeds in. You only need to put 1 to 2 seeds in each pot.


6. Cover soil 
After planting the mimosa piduca seeds, we cover the mimosa piduca seeds with a layer of soil, and then seal it with plastic film to increase the humidity, and then move the pot to a ventilated place with scattered light for maintenance .


When the weather is warm, it will sprout in about 4 days. The mimosa piduca at this time is very fragile. Be careful. Mimosa piduca seedlings are not hardy, so they should not be planted in cold winters.


After about 8 days, the mimosa piduca grows true leaves.At this time, and the mimosa piduca needs strong light and high temperature, but it is too high and easy to dry, so try to shade it when the temperature is too high.

7. Watering
Mimosa piduca loves water, keeping the soil moist from time to time is good for its growth. Do not water it in winter as long as the soil is not dry. In addition, pay attention to the water temperature when watering in winter.It not only prevents the pot soil from drying out, but also avoids water accumulation.


Usually, it will grow thicker one month after germination, and the leaves will grow longer. When it grows to a certain level, it will be divided into pots. After the plants are mature, they will enter the flowering period and bloom purple flowers.


The flowering period of mimosa piduca is normal from July to October. In some areas, it can bloom in March. Its flowering time is very short. It usually withers in about two days. After flowering, it will grow pods. This fruit can be used after it matures. Sowing new plants.


I believe that all flower friends know that the leaves of mimosa piduca will shrink when touched, just like a shy girl. So we keep it at home, and the family will touch it from time to time, which can bring a lot of happiness to the family and create a harmonious family atmosphere for the family.
