The information of mimosa how to cultivate mimosa

Mimosa (scientific name: Mimosa pudica) has many nicknames because of its unique physiological habits, such as laughing grass, sensitive grass, drinking grass, mimosa, ugly grass, mimosa and husband-and-wife grass and so on. Mimosa, which is native to tropical America, is a perennial herb of the genus mimosa of Leguminosae. Because of the tenacious growth of this plant, mimosa is regarded as a kind of weed in many countries. Next, the editor of the net will introduce mimosa.

The information of mimosa how to cultivate mimosa

Mimosa

Mostly woody, sparse vegetation, 2-pinnately compound leaves, or compound leaves with reduced petioles, leaflet midrib oblique, flowers bisexual, capitate, racemose, cymbiform, actinomorphic, petals 3-6, valvate, stamens numerous, ovary superior, 1 carpel, pod.

Mimosa

Inferiority, shame, shyness

The leaves of mimosa have rather long petioles

Mimosa, the front end of the stalk is divided into four feather rachis, each pinna has two rows of long oval pinnae, the total stalk is very long, and the base expands into a leaf pillow, that is, at the base of the mimosa pinna, pinnacle and petiole, there is a fat part called the leaf pillow. The leaves are pinnately compound, with 2 pinnae, 4 pinnae, palmately arranged, 14-48 leaflets, oblong, 0.6-1.1 cm long and 1.5-2 mm wide, with bristles on the margin and veins.

Mimosa-mature pod

Flowering about after the height of summer, heads oblong, 2 or 3 born in leaf axils. Flowers reddish, calyx campanulate, with 8 tiny calyx teeth, petals quadrifid, stamens 4, ovary glabrous. The pod is flat, 1.2 cm long and 0.4 cm wide, with bristles on the margin, with 3 pods and 4 pods, with 1 seed per pod node and deciduous internodes at maturity. The florescence is September.

Detailed illustration of mimosa

Morphology: perennial herbs, often cultivated for one year. The stem is trailing, and the plant height is 30-60 cm. 2-4 pinnate leaves are arranged in the palm of the hand, and the leaflet moment is round, which is closed and drooping when touched. Head reddish, flowering from July to October. The pod is flat.

Decorative application: mimosa plant shape scattered, feather leaves slender and beautiful, its leaves are closed as soon as they are touched, giving people the impression of being weak and elegant. The ground is scattered in the corner of the courtyard. Potted plants can be placed on the window table.

Growing environment

Mimosa has strong adaptability, likes warm and humid, grows well in moist and fertile soil, does not have strict requirements for soil, is not cold-resistant, likes light, but can tolerate semi-shade, so it is now doing more ornamental plant cultivation in the family. Generally born in hillside jungles and roadside tidal wetlands.

Distribution situation

? Native to tropical South America, because it is easy to grow and survive, it is also cultivated all over China, and there is no obvious geographical distribution, which is more common in East China, South China, Southwest and other provinces.

Cultivation techniques

Cultivation and planting

Cultivation method

Mimosa seedlings

General soil can be cultivated, the growth period does not need much fertilizer, the application of dilute liquid fertilizer 2murmur3 times, fertilizer should not be too much, leaf green can grow healthily, do not grow in vain, because mimosa is mainly interesting foliage flowers, small is better. The planting technique of mimosa is simple and the management is extensive. The requirements of climate, sunshine and soil are not strict, but the fertile, loose sandy loam is better, like the warm and humid environment.

1. Planting method. Generally sow and reproduce, and sow from late March to early April. Spread the seeds evenly on the fine soil, covering the soil about 1.5cm, when the temperature is about 18 ℃, the seedlings can emerge in about 10 days (usually grow in the soil, do not need to spend energy special management). It grows slowly in the seedling stage and can be planted when it is 7-8 cm.

two。 Field management. The distance between the plants planted in the field is 25cm to 30cm, loosen the soil, hoe and water in time. Indoor potted plants, watered once every 2 to 3 days in summer. Fertilize once a month, if you do not want to make the plant size too large, it is necessary to reduce the amount of fertilizer, or even do not need to apply fertilizer.

Key points of maintenance

Mimosa-bonsai

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.

Breeding method

Sowing and propagating with seeds can be sowed in both spring and autumn. Before sowing, the seeds can be soaked in warm water of 35 ℃ for 24 hours, sowed in shallow pots, covered with soil of 1cm and 2cm, fed with water by soaking method and kept moist. Under the condition of 15-20 ℃, the seedlings emerged after 7-10 days, and the seedlings were put on the pot when the seedlings were 5 cm high. The strong mother plant was selected when the seed was collected, and the management was strengthened. In the fruiting period, the pods were picked along with ripening, and the pods would crack automatically when they were ripe.

Mimosa seedlings

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.

You can use a small pot for direct seeding, or you can use a shallow pot for seedling planting. 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. Direct seeding in small pots with 1 or 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.

After emergence, the cover on the basin should be removed and gradually exposed to sunlight. 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.

In the middle of April in the south and the beginning of May in the north, the seedling basin can be moved out of the outdoor for cultivation, and the basin 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.

Variety introduction

Because of the strong adaptability to the growth environment, there is basically no difference between varieties. However, it is generally divided into prickly mimosa and non-prickly mimosa in appearance.

Mimosa

There are thorns on the mimosa:

That is, from the neck of the mimosa grows some small white villi, branches and leaves bifurcated with small thorns, slightly hard.

No prickly mimosa:

The stem is smooth, not tomentose, and there are no thorns at the branches and leaves.

Main value

Medical value

Source: mimosa Mimosa pudica L of Leguminosae. The whole grass. Summer and autumn harvest, to clean weeds, wash, cut, dry or fresh use.

Usage: 25g to 40g; proper amount for external use, smash and apply to the affected area.

Mimosa can be used as medicine.

Chemical composition: the whole grass contains flavonoid glycosides, phenols, amino acids, organic acids, mimosine, mimosine o-β-D-glucoside. Leaves contain contractile proteins similar to myosin. The seed contains about 17% oil and is similar to soybean oil. The fatty acid composition of the oil is: linolenic acid 0.4%, turbidious acid 51%, oleic acid 31%, palmitic acid 8.7% and stearic acid 8.9%. It also contains 2.5% unsaponifiable substances, mainly sterols.

Pharmacological effects: mimosa alkaloid plants, horses, donkeys and other animals can cause depilation. Mimosine can be regarded as a toxic amino acid with a structure similar to tyrosine. Its toxicity is due to inhibition of tyrosine enzyme system or replacement of tyrosine in some important proteins. The feed containing 0.5-1.0% mimosine can cause growth stagnation, hair loss and cataract in rats or mice. People eat plants containing this alkali, which can cause sudden hair loss. It can slightly inhibit alkaline phosphatase, but has no significant inhibition on the enzyme system containing metal. The toxicity of its low iron complex is far less. Tyrosine can antagonize the inhibitory effect of mimosa on the growth of rats.

② mimosa has a little toxicity, must not be taken alone, should be used in conjunction with other drugs. Especially in animal husbandry, eating mimosa by mistake often causes animal diseases. Among them, the most common is the poisoning disease caused by accidental consumption of mimosa by cattle, and it usually occurs in winter. After poisoning, the cattle showed depression, molars, wheezing, dyspnea, neurological symptoms and edema. In addition, because of mimosa alkaloid, camel, horse and other edible mimosa will produce depilation, and mice and rats will eat 0. 5%. The feed containing 5% ~ 1.0% mimosine also has depilation and can cause cataracts and growth inhibition. And human consumption or excessive contact with mimosa can also cause hair loss.

Mimosa plant shape scattered, feather leaves slender and beautiful, its leaves are closed at a touch; mimosa flowers are many and beautiful, charming, giving people the impression of weak and elegant. It can be planted in the corner of the courtyard or potted in the window. When giving flowers, gently cover the potted plants with pink tulle and tie them with pink ribbons and knots. It would be more interesting if you could adorn it with pink mohair balls.

Forecast the weather

Mimosa is a wonderful plant that can predict changes in the weather. If you touch it with your hand, its leaves close quickly and open slowly, indicating that the weather will clear up; if you touch mimosa, its leaves contract slowly, droop slowly, or even reopen a little bit, this means that the weather will change from sunny to overcast or it is going to rain.

The speed of the opening and closing of mimosa leaves can foretell the weather, mainly because in the neck of mimosa leaves, there is a small drum-shaped parenchyma tissue-leaf mattress, which is filled with water. When you touch the mimosa leaf with your hand, as soon as the leaf vibrates, the water in the lower cells of the leaf mattress immediately flows upward to both sides, so that the lower part of the mattress shrivels down, while the upper part bulges up, the petiole droops and the leaf closes. Therefore, the closure and opening of leaves are caused by the swelling and pressure of leaf mattresses. The expansion and pressure of the leaf mattress is closely related to the humidity in the air. When the air humidity is very small, the expansion and pressure effect of the leaf mattress is obvious, and the closing and opening speed of the leaf is fast; when the air humidity is very high, the opening and closing speed of the leaf is slow. Therefore, the speed of opening and closing of mimosa leaves indirectly reflects the humidity in the air and can be used as a reference for weather forecast.

Earthquake prediction

According to Turkish seismologist Erjiang, a few hours before a strong earthquake, the leaves of mimosa, which are sensitive to the outside world, suddenly shrink and then wither. In earthquake-prone Japan, scientists have found that under normal circumstances, mimosa leaves open during the day and close at night. If the leaves of mimosa close during the day and open at night, it is a sign of an earthquake. For example, at 7: 00 a.m. on January 11, 1938, the mimosa began to open, but at 10:00, all the leaves suddenly closed, and sure enough, a strong earthquake occurred on the 13th. Members of the earthquake Club of Japan in 1976 observed the abnormal closure of mimosa leaves many times, resulting in an earthquake.

In addition, mimosa can also predict disastrous weather changes, which will produce unconventional growth activities to sudden anti-seasonal temperature difference, geomagnetism, geoelectricity and other changes. We can put some potted mimosa plants in the room to observe the prediction and prevention of natural disasters.

Naming reason

Unlike animals, plants do not have a nervous system or muscles, and they do not perceive external stimuli, while mimosa is different from ordinary plants. When touched by the outside world, the petiole is drooping and the small leaves are closed. This action is understood as "shy", so it is called mimosa, mimosa, and ugly grass.

Mimosa cells are supported by a small reticular protein called actin (leaf occipital sensitizer). When there is a closed movement, the phosphoric acid of actin will fall off, as long as the mimosa is allowed to absorb the compound that does not let the phosphate fall off, it will not change after touching. Professor Takeshi pointed out that when the thigh actin bundle is dispersed, the cells are destroyed, resulting in water running out, resulting in closed movement. Actin is commonly found in the muscle fibers of animals and is related to muscle stretching. Unexpectedly, it also exists in mimosa, which can be said to be quite rare.

The movement of plants is usually caused by changes in intracellular turgor. Most mature plant cells have a large vacuole. When the vacuole is filled with water, it presses the surrounding cytoplasm so that it clings to the cell wall, putting pressure on the cell wall and causing the cell to swell like a balloon full of air. The concentration of organic and inorganic substances in the vacuole determines the osmotic pressure, and the osmotic pressure can determine the direction of water diffusion. When the concentration of vacuole increases, the osmotic pressure increases, water spreads from extracellular to intracellular and enters the vacuole, which increases the swelling pressure of the cell and makes the cell bulge; on the contrary, the cell shrinks. This process can only lead to slow movement, such as the opening and closing of stomata.

The mimosa leaves are closed when touched.

If the leaves of mimosa are touched, they will close immediately. The more powerful they are, the faster they close, and the whole leaves will hang down as if they are weak, and the whole action will be completed in a few seconds. The leaves and petioles of mimosa have a special structure. At the base of the petiole and at the base of the leaflet of the compound leaf, there is a relatively inflated part called the leaf pillow. The leaf pillow is the most sensitive to stimuli. As soon as it touches the leaf, the stimulus immediately spreads to the pillow at the base of the petiole, causing the two small leaves to close, with a greater kinetic force, not only to the pillow of the leaflet, but also quickly to the pillow at the base of the petiole, and the whole petiole droops. What causes it? This is because there is a large vascular bundle in the center of the leaf occipital, which is surrounded by parenchyma with many intercellular spaces. When the vibration reaches the leaf pillow, the cell fluid from the parenchyma cells in the upper half of the leaf pillow is discharged into the intercellular space, which reduces the turgor pressure of the cells in the upper part of the leaf pillow, while the parenchyma cell space in the lower part still maintains the original turgor pressure. as a result, the leaflets stand upright and the two leaflets close, even the whole leaf hangs down. It has been studied that mimosa leaves close within 0.08 seconds after being stimulated. After being stimulated, the conduction speed is also very fast, with a maximum speed of 10 centimeters per second. After the stimulation, after a short period of time, everything slowly returned to normal, the lobules spread out again, and the petiole stood up. The recovery time is usually 5-10 minutes. However, if we continue to tease and stimulate its leaves one after another, it will feel "bored" and will no longer react. This is because continuous stimulation causes the loss of cellular fluid in the leaf occipital cells and can not be replenished in time.

The special ability of mimosa has its historical roots. Its hometown is in Brazil in tropical South America, where there are often strong winds and heavy rain. Whenever the first drop of rain hits the leaf, the leaf immediately closes and the petiole droops to avoid the damage caused by the storm. This is a kind of adaptation to the change of external environmental conditions. In addition, the exercise of mimosa can also be seen as a way of self-defense. When an animal touches it, it closes its leaves, and animals dare not eat it any more.

There is a larger part at the base of both the petiole and the petiolule, called the leaf mattress. The leaf mattress is very sensitive to stimuli, and there are many parenchyma cells in its center. When at rest, these cells transport negatively charged chloride ions into the cells and oxygen ions outside the cells, maintaining a certain potential difference between the cell membrane and the surrounding area, called the resting potential. When the external stimulation exceeds a certain limit, the permeability of this difference will suddenly change, and a large number of positively charged calcium ions will pour into the cell, while potassium ions will proceed in the opposite direction, increasing the potential in the membrane, or even becoming a positive potential, resulting in an action potential, a phenomenon called depolarization. The action potential will be transmitted, and when the cell reaches the action potential, that is, when the depolarization occurs, the differential permeability of the cell membrane will disappear, so that the water originally stored in the vacuole will be discharged in an instant, causing the cell to lose turgor and become paralyzed. Therefore, when stimulating the leaf mattress at the base of the petiolule, the swelling and pressure of the parenchyma cells in the upper half of the leaf mattress decreased, while the parenchyma cells in the lower half remained the original pressure, causing the leaflets to stand upright along the petiole direction. On the other hand, the vascular bundle in the petiole synthesizes a large pipe in the leaf mattress to hold the water discharged from the leaf mattress.

[mimosa] pictures of mimosa, a collection of materials on mimosa

♠

The scientific name of mimosa is Mimosa pudica Linn, which is a perennial herb or subshrub of Leguminosae. Because its leaves respond to heat and light, it closes immediately when touched by external forces, so it is named mimosa, which is shaped like a feather ball, pods are formed after flowering, and the fruit is oblate, and the leaves of mimosa are feathery, alternate leaves and palmately arranged, about after the height of summer. And one seed of each pod node will fall off when it is mature, its flowering period is from March to October, and the fruit period is from May to November. It likes the warm and humid growth environment, but has no special requirements for the soil. ♠ mimosa picture appreciation one

♠ mimosa management and conservation of flowers, leaves and pods have a good ornamental effect, and relatively easy to survive, suitable for balcony, indoor potted flowers and other places, in the home or courtyard and other places can also be planted, and mimosa is different from ordinary plants in that its petiole will droop and quickly close small leaves when touched by people, so people say it is very shy Also known as inductive grass, drinking grass, mimosa and ugly grass, this plant is native to tropical South America. ♠ mimosa picture appreciation II

♠ mimosa data-perceptual characteristics 1, the difference between animals and plants is that plants do not have a nervous system and muscles, do not sense external stimuli, animals will, although mimosa is an exception, it is touched by the outside world will quickly droop and close leaves, people understand this action as "shy", so it is also known as mimosa and ugly grass. Second, the cells of mimosa are made up of tiny reticular-like protein actin, which falls off its actin phosphate when it produces closed movement. so as long as the mimosa is allowed to absorb a chemical and does not let it fall off, it will not change even if it is touched by something, causing the cell to be destroyed when the actin bundle spreads. Water runs out so as to produce closed movement, which is found in mimosa and can be said to be quite rare. Third, the movement of plants is usually caused by changes in intracellular turgor pressure, and most mature plant cells have a large vacuole. When the vacuole is full of water, it oppresses the surrounding cytoplasm and causes it to stick to the cell wall. The pressure on the cell wall causes the cells to swell, similar to inflated balloons, and the concentration of organic and inorganic substances in the vacuoles determines the osmotic pressure. This process can only lead to slow movement-such as the opening and closing of stomata. ♠ mimosa pictures appreciation 3

Conclusion: because of its unique plant cell and muscle tension, mimosa feels very sensitive when people touch it, and its leaves droop and close immediately, which is a relatively rare phenomenon in plant species. the above is the introduction of mimosa information and picture appreciation, hoping to help friends who like mimosa.

Matters needing attention in how to cultivate mimosa

Mimosa generally grows in the wild and is a common weed. Because the mimosa is more exciting or it will be very interesting to touch the leaves, so many people now like to plant some mimosa at home. On the one hand, they can tease the mimosa when they are idle, and on the other hand, they can also green their homes. So how to raise mimosa? Next, follow the editor to understand the culture methods and matters needing attention of mimosa.

How to raise mimosa? The culture methods of mimosa are as follows:

1. Potted plants: when you touch the leaves of mimosa, it will slowly close, very strange. And its flowers are like furry pink balls, especially lovely, because of the living habits of mimosa, it is a small plant suitable for potted plants.

2. Watering: because mimosa belongs to tropical plants and loves the moist environment very much, we should always keep the basin soil moist, and in summer we should water the basin soil according to the situation of the basin soil, about once a day. Do not let the soil dry, but also often spray water to the plants, and reduce the amount of water to prevent freezing damage in winter.

3. Fertilization: mimosa does not have high requirements for soil, and general soil is fine, but if you want mimosa to grow better, you can choose loose and fertile soil, and you can also use a mixture of rotten leaf soil and sandy soil. you can also use only rotten leaf soil, and humus soil is also a good choice.

4. Sunshine: mimosa likes sunshine, so putting it in a sunny place is very conducive to its growth, but if there is too little sunshine, it is not conducive to its growth.

Matters needing attention in Mimosa Culture

1. To prevent frost injury, mimosa is suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the suitable temperature is between 20 °C and 28 °C. if the temperature is too low, it will hinder its growth. Because the winter temperature is too low, so less watering, avoid freezing damage to the roots, watering time is about the highest temperature of the day, if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it is best to give certain protection measures.

2. to prevent diseases and insect pests, mimosa usually has few diseases and insect pests, and the most common pest is slug. If pests are found, you can sprinkle some lime powder to control them.

3. Fertilize according to your own situation when fertilizing, and mimosa can be fertilized about once a month. If you think that the growth of potted mimosa is too large and good-looking, you can give up fertilization to mimosa.
