How to grow mimosa plant (shame plant, shy plant) from cuttings

this time we will propagate mimosa plant (shame plant or shy plant flower) from cutting
usually this plant grows in the wild
we plant it as a rat repellent
to protect our other crops which are commonly attacked by rats
because of its sharp thorns mice will avoid it
but now this plant is viral for its properties for virility and male fertility
the method is very easy, just look for these plants that grow wild
then follow these steps
we cut by segment
and the result is like this
by including a little parts of the branch
because at the meeting of the branch with the stalk
is one of the fastest points to grow new shoots and roots
we need is a rubber band
2 kilogram plastic bags, it doesn't have to be new, you can use used ones
and skewers
the planting medium we use is a 1:1 mixture of soil and compost
but you can also use soil only
because mimosa pudica does not need fertile soil to grow well
per plastic we can put 2-3 plants
put skewers on both sides to keep the plastic upright
then close and tie with a rubber band
then we won't open again for 3 weeks
and this is after 3 weeks
so as long as it's covered in plastic we don't water it
the water will be obtained from the process of condensation inside the plastic
like a mini rain
all the plants are still alive
some has even grown new shoots
so we can see the roots have grown

I appreciate the no-nonsense tutorial with actual results at the the end. I will look to see if you have a bamboo video, as well. Thank you very much.

[@NoSweatGardening]

thank you

I am a beekeeper, and the honey from Mimosa trees is very tasty.

Here I was worrying about how I'd adapt them to a terrarium, and then you propagate them by just making temporary terrariums. Good to know lol.

he.he.he

Gracias por enseñarme como hacerlo.👍🏻

Very informative and very cool video was amazed how fast they grew! Where are you from ? I’m from California and my sensitive plant came from Oregon lol

[@NoSweatGardening]

hi, I'm from indonesia nice to meet you

Thabk you for the tutorial i will be trying this my plant since my seeds failed me 😢

[@NoSweatGardening]

good luck :)

¡Gracias! Lo tengo que intentar, he probado poniendo tallos en agua, en tierra y no brotan, como sí hacen muchas plantas. Saludos

De nada amigo

Excellent video! No water in the bag, right? When you planted them after they rooted, how much water do you give them?

[@NoSweatGardening]

yes, no water in the bag, after transferring them to regular container, you only need to water them once in 2-3 days, mimosa doesn't like too much water

[@JuniorFarquar]

In spring only or is summer ok, too? Locally, they started dropping flowers about 3 days ago. Great demo. Thanks.

[@NoSweatGardening]

you can propagate them like this during any season

[@JuniorFarquar]

@@NoSweatGardening thanks so much...subbed earlier, too

[@makaylashockey9074]

That was amazing I was gifted a sensitive plant and I’m trying so hard not to kill it it’s a baby and only got like two limbs should I try this method with the bag to encourage it to grow ? I would give alll my plants just to save this one and I have AlOT of plants !

[@NoSweatGardening]

yes, this method will dramatically increase the rate of success

[@davidb5255]

Interesting, thanks. I've been trying to grow from seed this year which worked quite well except that the plants keep losing leaves, they seem to dry up and fall off, sometimes yellowing first. I've tried watering more and less as either seems to be quoted as reasons for leaf loss. The plants are now 40cm tall but only have 4 or so healthy looking sets of leaves. How wet should the compost be?

[@NoSweatGardening]

Hi, mimosa doesn't like too much water, so water it about once in 2-3 days, as for how wet the compost, the ideal would be like soil after rained yesterday, I make my own compost from kitchen waste here's how kzbin.info/www/bejne/opbJZXmZjbOUq6c

[@user-ke2jb8mr5c]

where do you keep the bags during those 3 weeks? And With light or no light?

[@NoSweatGardening]

in shaded area, it's okay to get some light, as long as not direct sunlight

[@johnwheeler8870]

What time of the year is it best to do this? Spring/fall/summer?

[@NoSweatGardening]

hi, it grows well all year long, it's very weather resistant

[@nicopadrones]

hello! What time of year can it be done?

[@NoSweatGardening]

it can be done anytime, this plant is very very adaptive

[@WalterAvila-nd6cl]

No sé habré nunca la bolsa? Cuánto tiempo más o menos

[@NoSweatGardening]

3 semanas

[@JeanineRossouw-qb4wx]

When planting in the plastic is the compost/soil wet?

[@NoSweatGardening]

no need to add water

[@JuniorFarquar]

I cannot find clear bags that shape or similar. Any ideas?

[@NoSweatGardening]

you van use any plastic bag, the principal is the same, I use a 2 kg plastic bag

[@JuniorFarquar]

@@NoSweatGardening yeah...the shape is eluding me...thanks

Is this the Acacia dealbata?

[@NoSweatGardening]

no, Mimosa Pudica

[@claudeirby1561]

you didn't need to cover the square pan ?

[@NoSweatGardening]

no need, just place them on shaded area, it still needs indirect sunlight for photosynthesis

[@joemacias2360]

I read that they prefer sandy soil

[@NoSweatGardening]

it can thrive in harsh environment with very little water

[@robertwarner-ev7wp]

They grow in Missouri clay just fine.

[@CheesyChise]

Would this work if you direct sew the cut parts into a pot? I assume the bag is for humidity, as ive read these are practically treated as tropical plants, but is the bag a necessary part of the process? Im using my mimosa in a fairy garden and it would be so much easier for me to put the cuttings directly into pots, as i wont have to mess up the garden surroundings by digging around too much.

[@NoSweatGardening]

it might work, but maybe the success rate will be lower, by putting it in a bag i reduces the evaporation a lot, so the plant doesn't dehydrate until it can grow some roots to pick up water from the soil
