Characteristics of Mimosa

Characteristics of Mimosa

1. Appearance characteristics

The leaves of mimosa are quite unique, with more than a dozen pairs of leaves on one petiole, and each pair is alternate and feather-shaped. It also blooms, and the flowers are spherical, very small, and light pink.

2. Leaves close

The most striking feature of the mimosa plant is that its leaves close up when stimulated. If you touch the leaves with your hand, the leaf surface will close, and touching them for a long time will cause the petiole to droop. After you stop touching them, the leaves will slowly open after a while. In addition, the leaves will fold up at night and in the rainy season, and will recover during the day or after the weather clears up.

3. Weather Forecast

Mimosa has the ability to predict the weather. If the leaves shrink very slowly after being stimulated, and open immediately after closing, it means that it will turn cloudy or rain. If it closes quickly but opens slowly, it means the weather is about to clear up.

4. Predicting Earthquakes

Mimosa will show some signs before an earthquake occurs. Normally its leaves open during the day and close at night. But if it closes during the day, it means an earthquake is about to come. In the hours before an earthquake, the plants will suddenly wither.
