1. Characteristics of Mimosa

Mimosa is also called induction grass, know Mimosa, fear ugly grass and shy grass. Originated from the tropical region of America, it has been widely distributed in tropical regions of the world. It is mainly produced in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Taiwan. It is common in shrubs and wasteland. Mimosa likes to grow in a sunny, warm and humid environment. The breeding soil must be a loam with good drainage and sufficient nutrients. The characteristics of Mimosa are mainly reflected in four aspects

Appearance features: the leaves of Mimosa have a unique appearance. There are more than a dozen pairs of symmetrically distributed leaves on one petiole, and the leaves are feathery. Mimosa also blooms. The flowers are small and light red

Leaf closure: This is the main feature of Mimosa. As long as it is stimulated by the outside world, its leaves will close. If you touch a leaf with your hand, its leaf surface will close. If touched for a long time, its petiole will become drooping. But after stopping touching, its leaves will stretch out quietly again in a few minutes. In addition to external stimuli, the leaves of Mimosa will close at night and on rainy days, and will stretch out again during the day or sunny days

Forecast the weather: as mentioned above, the leaves of Mimosa will close on rainy days and recover on sunny days. Therefore, the weather change can be inferred from this phenomenon. If you touch its leaves with your hand, it will open slowly after closing, indicating that the weather will clear up. If it opens quickly after closing, it means it's going to rain. It has something to do with the humidity in the air

Earthquake prediction: mimosa leaves have special signs before natural disasters. Generally, its leaves are spread out during the day, but if they are closed during the day or open at night, or even shrink suddenly, an earthquake may occur soon
