Best Way to Care for a Touch Me Not Plant (Mimosa Pudica)

[@ruthm1384]

Recently planted some seeds, and I now have the first true leaf! Thank you for the care instructions. 🙂

How fast did it germinate and how fast did it take from germination to producing an adult leaf?

@@Ninj_SRG It germinated in just a few days. I simply put some seeds in damp soil, covered the pot with plastic and left it in a warm place. If I remember right, in about a week after germination it had the first adult leaf. Now, at about two weeks, the second adult leaf is just forming. I may have been very lucky, because later I heard that some people have a hard time getting the seeds to germinate. I've even read about some tricks and gimmicks to make it germinate. Such as soaking the seeds in hot water, removing the outer shell from the seed and making a little nick to the actual seed. I didn't have to do any of this, although I did plant several seeds and only one so far has germinated. But I love this curious plant so much!

@@Ninj_SRG I replied to you some 10 hours ago but it's not showing up here for some reason. I can still see it listed in my KZbin statistics page for comments, though. If it doesn't show up soon I can try again. But to answer briefly, it took a few days to germinate and about a week after that to grow the first true leaf. ☺🌱

@@ruthm1384 yeah this is the only response i see or got notified of. Thanks! I ordered 200 seeds 😂

@@Ninj_SRG Wonderful! In my comment that still doesn't show up here I also mentioned that I've since learned that it can be difficult to get them to germinate, so I guess I was lucky to just put seeds in soil, wait and have one germinate so soon and easy. So it's a good idea for you to have plenty of seeds! Good luck to you! 😃
