After the acquaintance of Miss Huan and Han, the two fell in love and tied the knot. The young couple lived a very sweet life.

However, happy days do not last long. Because Han's sister-in-law was jealous of them, she tried every means to destroy the couple, and even viciously wanted her sister-in-law to do the rough work for her. One day, my sister-in-law asked to come to her house and weave a hundred feet of cloth for her. the happy childbirth period was approaching, but she could not refuse her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to go. She weaves cloth for her sister-in-law day and night. Unexpectedly, before the cloth is finished, she will give birth. Finally, she had to wave to the sky.

There are trace toxins in the whole plant of mimosa. The plant itself contains a substance called mimosa alkaloid, which can cause hair yellowing and falling if you come into close contact with mimosa for a long time. Potted indoors can purify the air, beautify the ornamental, but also have a slight harm to the body.

Mimosa will not cause harm to the human body during the day, but at night, mimosa can not carry out light and action, it will release toxic substances. Therefore, the mimosa placed indoors had better be placed on the balcony to avoid long-term contact with physical and mental harm.

Compared with indoor, mimosa is more suitable for balcony or outdoor planting, its growth needs strong light, indoor light conditions, can not meet the needs of mimosa growth, more contact will also cause harm to the human body, but also easy to make mimosa leaves fall.

Mimosa is small and interesting and can attract children's interest and attention. long-term contact with mimosa can lead to skin damage, decay of hair follicles, yellowing and shedding of hair and eyebrows. Therefore, if there are children at home, it is best not to raise mimosa.

Fourth, how to raise mimosa?

Mimosa is a taproot plant with few fibrous roots, which is suitable for sowing and reproduction, and it is best to adopt the method of direct seeding to avoid root injury by transplanting; if transplanting is necessary, it should be transplanted at the seedling stage, otherwise it is not easy to survive, as an annual mimosa, it is generally sown indoors in early spring.

1. Pre-seed preparation: direct seeding in small pots or seedling cultivation in shallow pots can be used. The sowing soil was prepared with 20% rotten leaf soil, 30% garden soil and 50% fine yellow sand after sieving. When sowing, first put an appropriate amount of culture soil in the basin, smooth and compacted, sprinkle through water with a spray pot, and sow immediately after all the water permeates.

2. Planting method: direct seeding in small pot, sowing 1-2 seeds in each pot. If the seedlings are raised in a shallow basin, the seedlings will be sown on demand at the distance of 2cm × 2cm. It is appropriate to cover the seeds with 3~5cm after sowing. Cover the basin with glass or plastic film to moisturize the basin and place the basin at about 20 ℃ of astigmatism. In the future, when the basin soil is dry, the basin method will be used to irrigate the soil. After about 7-10 days, the seeds germinated and germinated.

3. Seedling emergence culture: after emergence, the cover on the basin should be removed and the sun should be accepted gradually. When the seedlings grow to the height of 3cm, the seedlings sown in the shallow pot can be divided and transplanted. Seedlings should be transplanted with soil, otherwise it is not easy to survive. After watering the seedlings in the pot, put them in a semi-shady place, wait for the seedlings to slow down, and then move to a sunny place. The direct broadcast in a small basin can be directly placed in a sunny place to grow.

4. Seedling culture: in the middle of April in the south and at the beginning of May in the north, the seedling pot can be moved out of the outdoor for cultivation, and the pot soil can be kept moist by watering in time. The seedlings began to apply liquid fertilizer when they grew to 4 leaves, and the liquid fertilizer could be matured once in 7-10 days. When the seedlings grow up, you can change the pot again, but the pot should not be too large. It can be planted in the medium flowerpot of 15~20cm.

Matters needing attention

During the growth period of mimosa, it can be combined with watering and apply rotten dilute liquid fertilizer (3-4) every 10 days or so. As a potted ornamental flower, it is easy to move into the sunny place indoors and can survive the winter safely at a room temperature of 0-12 degrees.

Moisture: like to be moist, watered once a day during the summer growth period. Fertilizer: topdressing is applied once every half month at seedling stage. If you do not want the plant to be too large, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer applied.

Soil: the soil should be deep, fertile and moist.

Temperature: not cold-resistant, like warm climate, plants die by themselves in winter.

Light: full of happy light, slightly resistant to half-shade.

Reproduction: sowing and reproduction. Sowing from late March to early April, the growth was slow in the seedling stage, and could be planted when the seedling height was 7-8 cm.
