Germination and Growing:
The seeds of this plant need temperatures between 20 and 22° to germinate. Until germination, the seeds should always be kept slightly moist, regardless of whether you pre-germinate them or germinate them directly in or on potting soil. It is generally helpful to use a heated mini-greenhouse to increase the germination rate and to provide the seedlings with a favourable climate for their first growth phase. After about 1 week you should be able to see the first seedlings.
The Real Mimosa - Pretty Flowers and Sensitive Leaves
Mimosa pudica (or touch-me-not) originally comes from South America and also thrives very well here. The true mimosa grows to a height of approx. 30 - 50 cm in pots and produces very pretty, round, pink flowers from May onwards. The double-pinnate leaves of the true mimosa are a special feature: they fold up quickly when touched, so they behave somewhat "mimosa-like" and then take up to half an hour to unfold again. The mimosa prefers a bright location without direct sunlight, in summer it also likes to be outside. If you overwinter it skilfully, this beautiful plant will live for several years.
