Description

Grow Sensitive Plant from fresh Mimosa Pudica flower seeds. The Sensitive Plant is aptly named mainly because of its physical reaction to human touch. When you brush the leaves of Mimosa Pudica, you will notice that they will close for a few seconds to minutes, later opening back up. The leaves are not the only thing to react however, the branches themselves will also move when the leaves are touched. Each plant will grow several branches filled with with touchable leaves. Each Pinna will contain 10 to 26 leaflets.

Mimosa Pudica, or “Sensitive Plant” will reach an average mature height of about 18 to 24 inches tall, but can sometimes grow to a couple of feet. They are established as annual plants, growing quickly and later dying with the first frost. The Mimosa Pudica plant may produce pink blooms through the summer after a few months of growth. The flowers are roughly 1/2 inch in diameter and will become more and more visible as the plants grow older.

Mimosa Pudica is the scientific name for this species, but it is also known as “The plant that plays dead.” Other nicknames or “common names” include: Touch-Me-Not, Shy Plant, Humble Plant, Sleeping Grass, Noli Me Tangere, Modest Princess & Prayer Plant. Originating from Central & South America, Mimosa Pudica plants can be found in many tropical areas around the world.

Sowing The Seed

Mimosa seeds can be soaked in warm water overnight to increase germination rates. They are best started indoors, in peat pots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow 2 or 3 seeds per pot at a depth of 1/8” under topsoil. Transplant entire peat pots into containers or directly in the garden when all danger of frost has passed.

Growing Conditions

Mimosa seeds and seedlings will require a well draining soil, that is rich and nourishing. They prefer an area of full sunlight for at least 6 to 8 hours daily. Water with a mild setting so that the soil is kept moist until germination occurs. Placing plastic wrap over the peat pots can help retain moisture. Best grown in temperatures that are kept around 65F to 70F.

Germination & Growth

Mimosa seeds will begin to sprout within 21 to 28 days after sowing, if not sooner. The plants will grow to a mature height of about 18 to 24 inches tall and can be spaced about 12 inches apart from one another. Plants react to your touch and are best grown in containers.

Love them! Great company. Well priced.

I plant several pots of these each year and give several away. Everyone loves to touch the leaves. Germaination rate for this variety (regardless of the seller) is not great. Those purchased from Sed Needs for this season had about a 50% rate in the greenhouse. I know this going in and do not expect more. I generally save seeds and buy a fresh seed pack each year.

I do not understand the reviews that they are hard to germinate, especially on Amazon. The website had a better deal as a first time costumer so I came here to purchase them. I planted 4 and 4 sprouted just to make sure I met their needs. I started these I think a month ago with my own growing mix, I am also attempting to root a zz plant so you can see more or less the size of growth. I like how fast they were shipped too unlike other companies that take too long to ship at times. Thank you for selling the seeds of the plant of my youth in Puerto Rico. My kids will get a kick touching them, when they become a full plant.

Easy to grow beautiful flower

I have a about 75% germ rate so thats great besides this is a lot to begin with! Phenotype is cute when small, Ill update when they get big. They close very fast but I try to not touch them too much.
