How to Grow Mimosa pudica? Detailed Guide to Care Methods and Precautions
Mimosa pudica, also known as zhixiu cao and pa xiu cao, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Fabaceae family. Because its leaves are extremely sensitive, a gentle touch makes the leaflets immediately fold together left and right; a slightly harder touch makes even the pinnae and petiole droop to 60 degrees. At night it also assumes a dormant, drooping posture, and it reacts the same way to sudden cold or electrical stimulation.
