Mimosa bashful how to grow at home

Mimosa bashful native to the southern subtropical regions of America. Its natural habitat is its homeland and Brazil. This genus has more than 500 species. One of them is the "bashful" mimosa, or, as it is called, "touchy", which is grown at home. This plant got its name for the ability of the leaves to fold and fall down at the slightest mechanical impact, as if embarrassed by something.

Description of the species

Mimosa bashful at home is an annual, beautifully flowering herbaceous dwarf shrub. It is an evergreen plant 30-40 cm high. Branched stems are very light. They are covered with spines that resemble fine hairs. Numerous leaves of light green, double-pinnate leaves are always twisted and lowered at night, and during the day - only when exposed to them. After a certain time, at rest, the leaves unfold.

A delicate plant is bashful mimosa. The flowers are pink or lilac in color. They are collected in small fluffy spherical heads. Bloom for 2-3 days and fall off. The fruits are formed on the ovaries during self-pollination of the plant and look like beans. They are not used for food, their poison can be poisoned. The flowering period is long in time: it begins in the summer and ends in the fall. Sometimes mimosa is confused with silver acacia, which represents the Mimosa family, but is not a plant of that name. The main difference is that its flowers are yellow.

Growing

Mimosa bashful at home prefers lighted places. She does not like wind, drafts and odors, especially tobacco smoke. In a smoky room, its leaves curl up and fall off. The best temperature for her in summer is 20-25 degrees, and in winter 16 is enough. The shrub loves moisture, but in moderation. In the spring and summer periods, it should be watered regularly and abundantly; in extreme heat, sprinkle irrigation. And in winter, when the plant is resting, it is enough to monitor the condition of the soil and prevent it from drying out. Water as needed. Waterlogging can lead to a loss of decorative effect. On loose fertilized soil, bashful mimosa grows better. Growing from seeds makes it possible to get many shrubs at the same time.

For fruit to set, the plant must be pollinated. This process can be done by yourself. It is enough to transfer pollen with a brush or soft swab. After that, a pod begins to form. When it is ripe and dry, it is ripped off and placed in a paper bag. The pod will be stored in it all winter, until the onset of spring. It is important to remember that this plant is difficult to preserve in winter, it dies.

Transfer

Mimosa bashful at home grows like an annual, it does not need to be transplanted. If necessary, this is done in the following cases:

• When the shrub is left for the winter and grown as a perennial.
• If the "touchy" gets sick, or the soil starts to rot.

The transplant should be done by the transshipment method.In a larger pot, the plant is placed along with a clod of earth. First, the bottom of the pot is covered with pebbles, which will act as drainage. The soil is prepared in advance. The earth is mixed with sand, peat and decayed foliage. It is better to replant the shrub early in the morning or in the evening, when the sun goes down.

Reproduction

Bashful mimosa from seeds may well grow, but they need to be planted exclusively in March and April. Their shape resembles beans or peas squeezed from the sides, the rind of which is very dense and has a glossy sheen. For germination, you need to take a saucepan, pour soil into it and lay out the seeds, without sprinkling it with earth. You can press down a little for better contact with the soil. Then the future bashful mimosa is poured with hot water. The seeds will start to crackle, this is normal. Cover the pan with a lid on top. This will maintain the required humidity in it. After a while, the beans will sprout. The bashful mimosa sprouts will give friendly sprouts. Growing from seeds is business troublesome, but worth it.

Sprouted beans are planted in well-loosened soil. Seedlings will appear in a week. When they grow to the size of a few leaves, they can be transplanted into separate pots with good drainage and sterile soil. To destroy bacteria, it is enough to spill it with a solution of potassium permanganate.

When and how to feed mimosa?

"Impatient", like any plant, needs nutrients. She receives them during feeding. It is carried out when the shrub is actively growing. In spring and until mid-summer, bashful indoor mimosa is fed with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. These fertilizers are mixed in equal proportions and applied to the soil twice a month. In the second half of summer and before the beginning of autumn, buds are formed. Therefore, phosphorus and potassium are needed in large quantities. To make the soil more nutritious, bone meal should be added to it. Feeding can be done with complex mixtures for home flowers. In autumn, the growth of shoots stops. At this time, the application of all fertilizers is stopped. If this is not done, the bashful mimosa will not rest and may weaken. Growing a houseplant will not bring pleasure, as the shrub will lose its decorative effect.

Beneficial features

"Impatient" is known for its beneficial properties. It has long been used in many European countries in medicine. Non-traditional methods of treatment are not complete without the use of the healing properties of this plant.

• Tincture of leaves cures sore throat, lowers fever.
• Bark decoction - dysentery and headache.
• Ointments heal burns and heal wounds.
• Mimosa preparations purify the blood.
• They help in the treatment of the heart and nervous system.
• They tidy up the liver and gallbladder.

What is sick and who is damaged by mimosa?

• If the shrub experiences excess moisture, its leaves will turn yellow and begin to curl up during the day.
• When the plant grows in a room where tobacco smoke is always present, it sheds foliage.

• Falling leaves are also associated with irregular watering.
• With a lack of lighting and low air temperatures, the bashful mimosa feels uncomfortable. Flowers under such conditions of detention will never appear.
• If "touchy" grows slowly and does not bloom, you need to pay attention to the soil: it is obviously depleted. In this case, you need to urgently feed the plant and create the necessary conditions for growth.
• If a bashful mimosa at home is infected with a spider mite, its leaves begin to fade. After a while, they turn yellow and dry out. Numerous green or yellow dots and cobwebs appear on them. This means that the room is too dry and the air is hot.
• At the first signs of aphid infestation, the leaves of the plant curl and turn yellow. Small black or green bugs appear on the shoots. This is aphid. It feeds on cell sap and inhibits growth.

To combat pests, they must be collected by hand, and then washed off with soapy water or wiped on the leaves on both sides. In case of severe damage, spraying with chemicals is used. Most importantly, for the plant to be comfortable in your home, you need to create favorable conditions for its growth. Then many negative consequences can be avoided.

Interesting Facts

The bashful mimosa plant reacts very quickly to any touch or mechanical vibrations. As a result of experiments, it was revealed that the plant remembers stimuli and somehow adapts to them. If you drip water onto the mimosa with the same frequency, it will stop curling. After some time, we will again act on the plant in a similar way. The result will exceed all expectations: "touchy" will behave completely calmly.

An interesting fact is the holding of the mimosa festival in France. This festival was first held in the province of Pierre-Riche at the beginning of the twentieth century. Nowadays it has not lost its importance. Numerous hills are covered with thickets of mimosa. Thousands of flowers emit a pleasant, rich aroma. Blooming mimosa in France means the end of winter and the beginning of spring. In honor of the holiday of flowers, parades are held throughout the country.

Mimosa (silver acacia) Is a tropical plantwhich is widespread in Brazil, where it is called “touch-me-not”. Mimosa is a perennial plant, but it is grown as an annual, since the shrub loses its decorative qualities in the second year of life.

In many countries, its flowering is associated with the arrival of spring. In Spain and France, holidays and festivals are held in honor of this flower.

For most of the inhabitants of Russia, mimosa flowers are twigs covered with small yellow balls of delicate flowers with a delicate aroma. In fact, the silver acacia is a shrub brought to Europe from Australia.

In Russia, acacia grows on the Black Sea coast. It can be seen in parks in the Caucasus, Abkhazia and Sochi, where it is quite hot in summer. Previously, the plant was considered rare, now it is grown by amateur flower growers and professionals. Its cultivation is possible only in warm regions, in the northern regions it is available only in the form of bouquets.

People suffering from allergies should note that during flowering, the flower emits a large amount of pollen, which is a strong allergen, and the flowers fall off during this period.

Description of the plant

Homeland of mimosa is South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Currently, there are about 500 known species that grow in the wild and hybrid varieties of the flower.

Under natural conditions, the silver acacia grows up to half a meter in height. In Russia, mimosa has a herbaceous shape. Plant height is no more than 15 centimeters. There are sharp thorns on the tree trunk. The leaves are small in size, painted in a silvery-green color, outwardly resembling fern frond. Thanks to this color, mimosa got the name "silver". Mimosa bloom begins in winter and ends in early spring.

The variety of types of mimosa

At home they are bred three varieties of mimosa flower:

• Shy mimosa... It is an evergreen shrub or subshrub that grows in rainforests. The plant has long, straight shoots. The height of the bush is one meter. The trunk is slightly pubescent and has small spines. The shy mimosa blooms in summer. Small flowers are purple-pink in color.
• Rough mimosa... This species grows in the tropical rainforests of South America. The height of the tree is over 20 meters. This variety blooms with white flowers, which are collected in panicle inflorescences.
• Mimosa lazy... A very beautiful decorative plant.The stems are branched or straight, reaching a length of 50 centimeters. The shrub has the most sensitive leaves. Mimosa blooms lazy with white flowers, collected in spherical inflorescences.

Special properties of the plant

An interesting feature is its ability to fold leaves even with a slight touch. After a while, if the bush is not disturbed, it picks up the leaves again. No matter which part of the plant is affected, the entire the flower takes on a wilted look... The plant also reacts to the onset of darkness when it falls asleep. This reaction is associated with protective function from torrential tropical rains. When folding, the shrub protects its pubescent leaves from getting wet and damaged.

When keeping a mimosa flower at home, it is important that small children do not touch it with their hands, who can turn the folding of delicate leaves into entertainment. Frequent touches harm the flower, since it spends a lot of strength and energy on unfolding the foliage. This can lead to her exhaustion and death.

Mimosa care

Caring for the bashful mimosa is not difficult, since the plant is unpretentious and incapable. In order for the shrub to please with lush and abundant flowering, it is necessary to create conditions close to natural.

Lighting and location

Shy mimosa responds very well to direct sunlight and loves bright lighting. South and southeast windows are well suited for growing it. In the hot season at noon on the south side, the plant will need a little shading for 2-3 hours. After cloudy weather or lack of light, mimosa is gradually accustomed to bright light. This is to avoid burning the leaves.

The flower does not tolerate polluted air and tobacco smoke, so you should not place it in household premises.

Temperature

The period of active growth of the shrub lasts from early spring to mid-autumn. The optimum temperature in the room where the flower is located is 20-25 degrees. In winter, the temperature should be lowered to 18 degrees. At this temperature, the plant does not respond to touch. Ventilation should be done very carefully, especially in winter. Mimosa is very afraid of drafts and cold air. It is advisable to remove the plant from the windowsill during airing.

Watering and humidity

During the period of growth and flowering, the plant needs frequent watering. It is held early in the morning or late in the evening. Watering is carried out as the topsoil dries up. With the onset of winter, the amount of moisture is reduced. Excessive waterlogging or drying of the earthy coma should not be allowed.

For irrigation, soft settled warm water that does not contain chlorine and other impurities is used.

Plant transplant and soil

The soil for the plant should be loose, moisture and air permeable. For a plant, you can use a ready-made composition or prepare a soil mixture yourself from equal parts of sand, peat, humus, turf and leafy soil. For looseness, it is recommended to add perlite.

At home, mimosa is grown as an annual plant, so it does not need to be transplanted. If it was possible to save the bush during the dormant period, it is necessary to transplant into a large pot.

For this, transshipment is carried out, in which it is necessary to preserve the earthen lump without damage, since the mimosa root system is very fragile. If the plant was purchased at a store, then the transplant should not be carried out.

To form a crown, to make it thicker and more bushy, it is necessary to pinch the tops of the upper branches. This procedure activates the growth of young shoots and side branches.

Pollination

In order for seeds to appear, pollination is necessary. In natural conditions, bashful mimosa is pollinated by insects or wind.At home, you should use a wide brush, with which the pollen is transferred from one bush to another. For pollination, you can shake one plant over another.

At the end of flowering, fruits are formed on the shrub in the form of pods with pea seeds. Collecting the pods is carried out after they are completely dry and placed in a cold place. In the spring, before planting, the pods are opened and seeds are taken out.

Plant feeding

For active growth and flowering of mimosa, a complex mineral fertilizer is used for ornamental and flowering plants. The concentration of the solution is halved. Top dressing is carried out twice a month.

Reproduction of mimosa

After the end of the flowering period, the plant loses its decorative qualities, so it is replaced with a new shrub, which is easy to grow on its own from seeds or cuttings.

• Before planting, the seeds are soaked in warm water with dissolved growth stimulants for 20-30 minutes.
• Sowing is carried out in small containers filled with ready-made universal soil. A drainage layer of small stones should be laid on the bottom of the container.
• The soil is well moistened and seeds are spread on its surface, which are lightly sprinkled with a thin layer of soil. From above, the container is covered with glass or a plastic bag.

It is not recommended to use the soil from the garden plot, as it may contain larvae of insect pests.

For quick emergence of shoots, it is recommended to maintain high temperature and humidity. Every other day, the topsoil is sprayed with a spray bottle. The first shoots appear in 20 days. The containers are opened and placed in a bright place. After the appearance of three true leaves, the plants are transplanted into separate small pots. When transplanting, you should be careful with the root system of the sprouts.

Plant propagation by cuttings is almost never carried out, since it rarely brings a positive result. Cuttings root very poorly. Rooting can be carried out in water or by sweeping away sand and peat.

Growing mimosa outdoors

Growing a shrub outdoors is possible only in climatic conditions with very mild winters. Mimosa is able to withstand a temperature drop of at least 10 degrees below zero.

The plant requires fertile, loose soil. Mimosa is planted on the sunny side of the site, which is protected from drafts and wind.

Watering the plant is carried out until the plant takes root. No tree pruning is required.

Difficulties in growing mimosa

When growing mimosa at home, growers may face some difficulties that are associated with improper plant care.

• folding of leaves occurs in plants that are placed in a room with polluted air;
• yellowing and wilting of leaves is possible with insufficient air humidity or irregular watering;
• stretching of stems and shoots occurs when there is insufficient lighting;

At home, the plant can be affected by spider mites, mealybug aphids. To combat pests, the plant is treated with special insecticidal preparations.

The most amazing feature of the bashful Mimosa is that from a light touch, she folds her leaves. However, the plant has two types of movement. Like a number of other species of higher plants, bashful mimosa can gradually change the orientation of the leaf over time (nyctinasty), and the leaves can also close under the influence of external stimuli (seismonastia), such as touching, warming, wind or shaking.

In 1729, the French astronomer de Meirins reported on the daily movements of the leaves in mimosa bashful (Mimosa pudica). These movements were repeated with a certain periodicity, even if the plants were placed in darkness, where there were no external stimuli such as light, which suggested an endogenous origin (geological processes associated with the energy arising in the interior of the Earth) biological rhythms to which the movements of the leaves were confined. plants. De Meiren suggested that these rhythms may have something to do with the alternation of sleep and wakefulness in humans.

Alphonse Decandol, a Swiss botanist and biogeographer, determined in 1832 that the period with which mimosa plants make these leaf movements is shorter than the length of the day and is approximately 22-23 hours.

Mimosa bashful (Mimosa pudica)

Shy mimosa is an evergreen ornamental shrub native to the subtropics of South America. The bashful mimosa got its distribution due to its bizarre property to respond to any touch, even a light wind. She immediately begins to fold her leaves. It seems that she is moving. In order to preserve its decorative properties, it is more often grown as an annual crop. Do not touch the leaves often.

Bashful mimosa (Mimosa pudica) is a perennial herb 30-60 cm in height, less often up to 1.5 m, a species of plants from the genus Mimosa of the legume family. The most famous species. Its bipinnate leaves are especially sensitive, folding and dropping in the dark from the lightest touch and other irritating reasons. The fruit is a pod, 2-8 pieces in pods. The flowers are collected in small light pink or lilac axillary globular heads at the ends of the branches. Pollinated by wind and insects.

The plant is poisonous, can cause poisoning in animals.

Mimosa bashful at home

Despite the fact that mimosa, at first glance, seems so gentle, caring for it, in fact, is not difficult. She loves warmth, the air temperature, from early spring to late autumn, should be in the range of 20-24 ° C. In winter, lower the temperature to 16-18 ° C. Loves bright light, even direct sunlight. In the spring and summer, watering should be abundant and regular. In winter, it is enough to keep the soil slightly damp. Its only feature is that it absolutely does not tolerate tobacco smoke, immediately throws off the leaves. Propagated by seeds.

Seeds of bashful mimosa are sown in February-March in moist, loose soil without fertilization, in a drained mixture of turf, leaf, peat soil and sand (1: 1: 1: 1). The box is covered with foil and placed in a warm place.

For uniform correct growth, mimosa needs bright light, unlike many plants, it responds well to direct sunlight.

Bonsai from mimosa bashful

When shoots appear, they are transplanted into separate pots, which are then placed on a well-lit windowsill. Newly acquired plants or plants, after a long cloudy period, are gradually accustomed to direct sun, in order to avoid sunburn.

Mimosa blooms in favorable conditions for about 4 months. In winter, mimosa most often dies. To repeat the joy of meeting an amazing plant next year, you can collect seeds, as well as cut off the tops of the shoots.

I must say that rooting cuttings is a big problem. Seedlings, as a rule, die after a year of life, in case of failure in the spring, seeds should be sown again.

A transplant is usually not required; you should not disturb the plant unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, there is no need for a transplant with an annual culture. If a transplant is necessary, it is best to transfer the plant to a larger pot without disturbing the earthen coma. For transplanting, a substrate of equal parts of sod land, leaf humus, peat and sand is suitable. Provide good drainage at the bottom of the pot.

The bashful mimosa is affected by the green apple aphid, which is disposed of with the help of appropriate preparations. The mealybug is removed using a rag or cotton swab dipped in alcohol, and subsequent treatment with anti-coccid drugs.

Why do the bashful mimosa leaves close?

When a force is applied to the leaves of mimosa, for example, a touch, the cells of the leaves of the plant lose their turgor pressure - the internal pressure of the cell. This is due to the release of chemicals, including potassium, which flushes water out of the cells.As soon as the leaf loses water, it wilts. This feature is found in other plants of the genus Mimosa.

It is not known exactly why the bashful mimosa developed this property. Scientists suggest that it appeared to scare away herbivores or insect pests.

Mimosa bashful

We have our own “northern bashful mimosa” - this is Oxalis, common in the forests, or hare cabbage. The amazing property of this plant is to fold leaves under the influence of irritation (seismicity). Kislitsa folds the leaves in the evening (niktinasty). The leaves of the sorrel roll up and when the sun's rays fall on them (photonastia). If the acid is placed in strong sunlight, it will fold its leaves in front of our eyes, within 3-5 minutes. If you then put it in the shade, it will open the leaves, but not soon, but after 40-50 minutes.

I look forward to your feedback on this small, modest, but interesting flower.

Shy mimosa is a very delicate and fragile flower, a real princess who needs careful care. This plant is highly prized by true flower growers. The plant belongs to annuals, in indoor conditions it reaches a height of 30-40 cm, and in its natural habitat up to one and a half meters. It has very delicate leaves. Mimosa is native to the tropical climates of America, Africa and Asia. A representative of the mimosa family, in general, it includes from 300 to 450 species.

Description of the flower mimosa bashful

The plant is a small shrub with small spherical flowers, the leaves of which are similar in appearance to those of a fern. Its flowers resemble dandelion balls, only lilac in color. Such balls bloom up to four months. In its habitat, it is a perennial plant, but the cultivated mimosa dies in winter.

Mimosa leaves curl up from any external stimulus, hence its name - "bashful". Any touch, light wind or temperature change can be an irritant.

The flower lives according to its own rhythm, similar to the rhythm of a person: sleep and wakefulness. Every 22 hours, mimosa leaves folding, which, by the way, does not depend in any way on the time of day.

Such a reaction to the world around us gives rise to many flower growers to think that it seems to be alive. This property attracts attention. Curled leaves restore their original position after half an hour.

Caring for bashful mimosa at home

One would assume that the bashful mimosa is very capricious to the conditions of caring for her. But in fact, it is not so difficult to maintain it. All that is required is to create the conditions of her native tropical habitat, and then the mimosa will bloom to the delight of the grower.

Location and lighting

The plant is very light-loving and is not afraid of direct rays. At mid-latitudes, it should be placed from the south. In a hotter environment, the southeast will suit her. In extreme cases, it can be placed from the west or east by the window. If in hot climates the plant is in the south, then it is necessary to provide the mimosa with a small shade for several hours.

If mimosa was purchased in a rainy period or in constantly cloudy weather, then when clear days come, getting used to the light should be gradual.

It should be noted that bashful mimosa should be kept at a height inaccessible to small children. The fact that a flower folds leaves under any stimulus can be perceived by them as a game. The plant spends a certain amount of energy on folding, so frequent touching can cause it to dry out.

Important! Adverse factors for mimosa are smoke, both cigarette smoke and smoke that forms when cooking food; drafts are also not recommended.

Temperature

From the beginning of spring to October, there is a period of intense growth and vegetation. The most optimal temperature regime for mimosa at this time is approximately 20-24 degrees.The winter period takes place at a temperature of 16-18 degrees.

Air humidity

It is necessary to provide a high level of humidity, approximately 70% or more. How can this be done? This can be done by spraying (by no means on the plant), a container, or a pan of water. The pallet must be positioned so that it does not touch the mimosa pot.

Watering

During the 8-month flowering period, from March to October, you need to water the plant every two days, in the morning or evening. A dry top layer of the substrate will serve as a clue. In winter, watering is carried out so that the soil in the pot is constantly moistened. Water must be used purified, and so that it is not hard.

Soil and fertilizers

The flower feels good in light soil, which allows air and water to pass through. A mixture of turf, sand and peat in equal proportions works best. Using expanded clay will provide the drainage that the bashful mimosa needs.

During the growing season, twice a month, you need to feed the plant. It is enough to use common fertilizers for flowering indoor plants. Dilute the resulting solution by half.

Plant transplant

Shy mimosa is grown as an annual flower, so there is no need to transplant it. But if there is still such a need, then the transplant must be carried out carefully, without spraying a clod of earth, but transplanting it together with all the sod into another pot.

Pollination

The process is used to grow mimosa seeds. As you know, pollination in the natural environment occurs with the help of wind or insects. At home, pollination can be done by gently transferring pollen with a thin soft brush, or by making the mimosa flowers lightly touch each other.

Reproduction of bashful mimosa

As already mentioned, mimosa is an annual plant, therefore, in order for a flower to grow in you for more than one season, you need to reproduce it every year. There are two ways: with seeds and cuttings.

Seed propagation

As for the seeds, they can be grown at home or purchased from the store. At home, the mimosa fruit is a small pod that contains from 6 to 10 seeds. The fruit can be picked when it is completely dry. They are harvested for the winter and stored in the refrigerator. March is the time for boarding. They are opened and soaked in water at room temperature for about half an hour.

It is advisable to purchase special soil for planting. Indeed, ordinary turf can contain bacteria that prevent the germination of the plant.

The pot should be small, it needs to be equipped with drainage. The bottom is filled with expanded clay, then the soil itself is placed. It should be wet. Next, seeds are placed on its surface and sprinkled with a loose layer (about 1 centimeter). The pot is wrapped in a protective film, creating a greenhouse effect, and placed in a warm place.

It is imperative to maintain a constant temperature of 25-30 degrees and humidity. The pot is ventilated by removing the film from time to time. Watering is carried out by spraying.

Seed rise usually occurs 20-25 days after planting. After that, the mimosa is exposed to the light, but not under direct rays, and again the temperature is maintained at no lower than 24 degrees. When a plant has 3 leaves, then it can be transplanted into a separate pot, while protecting the fragile roots. It should be remembered that young shoots should not be exposed directly to the sun's rays.

Propagation by cuttings

The cuttings method has many nuances and low efficiency, so it was practically abandoned. Although it is possible to do this, mainly in the aquatic environment or in peat.

Care problems, diseases and pests

Among the possible problems with the content of bashful mimosa, the following should be noted:

1. The leaves of the plant curl up due to the presence of smoke in the room. As mentioned earlier, this is undesirable for a flower.
2. If you notice that the leaves acquire a yellow tint and become lethargic, and sometimes completely fall off, then most likely the plant suffers from a lack of moisture. It is necessary to either humidify the room, or water the flower more often.
3. There is the opposite problem: the leaves are not opened at all. This happens if the plant has received too much moisture, or the appropriate temperature regime is not observed in the room.
4. The stems take on a more elongated shape. This signals that the mimosa lacks light. The solution to the problem can be to move the flower to a lighter corner of the room, or to compensate for the lack of sunlight with artificial lighting.
5. Mimosa does not have a flowering period. This indicates an extremely low temperature for a plant - less than 16-18 degrees.
6. If you observe a slowdown in the growth of a flower, or the leaves take on bizarre shapes, then this means that the plant has been struck by a disease. It usually develops from spider mites or aphids.

Important! Finally, it should be noted that people who are allergic to pollen, keeping bashful mimosa at home is dangerous to health.
