1. Mimosa information

Morphology: Mimosa, also known as sensitive grass, is a perennial herb of the Leguminosae family, but it is actually mostly cultivated as an annual. Its height is about 30-60 cm, and its leaves have ten to twenty pairs of symmetrically distributed leaflets, and look like a feather. Mimosa also blooms, but the flowers are very small, white or light pink in color, and look like a ball, very pretty and cute.

Growing environment: Mimosa is native to the tropical regions of America, where the growing environment is relatively harsh. Over time, its vitality has become very tenacious and its adaptability is also very strong. Generally speaking, it prefers a warm and humid maintenance environment. It likes light and is not cold-resistant, so you need to take anti-cold and warm measures in winter.

Efficacy and value: The leaves of mimosa are emerald green and the flowers are generally pink, and the color combination makes people look comfortable. And because its plant shape is relatively loose and its appearance looks delicate and cute, it has good ornamental value and is often cultivated as an indoor ornamental plant. In addition, it is also a medicine with good medicinal value. It can be used to calm the nerves, detoxify, stop bleeding and promote diuresis, but it must be taken according to the doctor's instructions.

Predictive effect: Usually, mimosa will open on sunny days and close on cloudy or rainy days. If its leaves close quickly but open slowly after people touch them, it means the weather will turn sunny; if they close slowly and open quickly afterwards, it means it may turn cloudy or rain. In addition, it also has the function of predicting earthquakes. It usually opens during the day and closes at night. If it suddenly closes during the day or opens at night or even shrinks sharply, it means that an earthquake may be coming soon.
