Other Details
Mimosa is a miracle plant in the sense that it has baffled human mind for a long time. The leaves of Mimosa respond to external stimuli e.g. light, touching, watering, or by gently blowing air on the leaves. The leaves suddenly close, droop downwards as if they died by touching. However if the plant is left alone for 5-10 minutes, the leaves recover and open as if nothing had happened. The leaves automatically close in the evening- to be opened in the morning. The plant bears beautiful pink flowers that look like a hairy ball of pink threads. After that seeds appear clad in a thorny cover. The seeds readily grow without any problem. Children find this plant very entertaining. Requires moist soil all the time, since full Sun often permanently burns the fresh growth. Image by Farhan Ahmad
