Mimosa planting methods and precautions Mimosa cultivation tips (simple method)

How to plant mimosa

Soil selection

To cultivate Mimosa, it is necessary to ensure that the soil in which it is located is suitable for growth and development. Therefore, it is necessary to use soil with a loose and porous structure, good drainage and air permeability, and a certain basic fertility. In addition, the soil should not contain too much clay, and should not be hardened or salinized.

Temperature adjustment

Mimosa is a plant that is suitable for living in a relatively warm environment. If the ambient temperature is too low, its growth rate will be significantly slowed down or even stagnant.

Therefore, the surrounding ambient temperature must be stabilized between 18-28℃, and in winter it must be maintained above 10℃.

Water and fertilizer application

When watering and fertilizing the Mimosa, it is important to ensure that the amount of water is appropriate. Watering should be done when the soil is dry and when it is wet. While ensuring that the soil can remain moist for a long time, there should be no accumulation of water.

In addition, avoid using raw fertilizers and concentrated fertilizers, and apply them in small amounts and multiple times, so that the fertilizer is applied thinly but frequently.

Lighting control

Mimosa needs a relatively sufficient light environment . Therefore, when maintaining it, ensure that it grows in an environment with sufficient light and high light intensity.

Generally, sufficient light can effectively prevent Mimosa from growing too tall or falling over. However, if the environment is too dark, the plant may even wither and die, and even if it does not die, its growth will not be very good.

Precautions for Mimosa cultivation

The whole plant of Mimosa contains trace amounts of toxins, namely mimosine . Long-term exposure to this substance can cause dry hair and hair loss. At night, this substance will evaporate into the air and enter the human body with human breathing, so it is best not to grow it indoors .

In addition, don't water it frequently, as this can easily cause waterlogging and root rot. Pay attention to the dryness of the soil in the pot, and water it thoroughly once it is dry.
