The changing process of Mimosa pudica in a day, from morning to night

Mimosa is a perennial herb or subshrub of the Leguminosae family. It is named because its leaves react to external light and heat and automatically close when disturbed by external stimuli. It also blooms, and the flowers are shaped like pompoms and pink in color, which has a good ornamental effect.

1. The changes of Mimosa pudica in one day

After the sun rises in the morning, the leaves of the mimosa sense the light and heat from the outside world and begin to stretch out their leaves. When it is noon, the light and temperature outside reach an extreme, and the leaves of the mimosa will close slightly to adapt to the changes in the environment and protect itself. After evening, when the sun sets, the humidity in the air begins to increase, the temperature drops, and the leaves of the mimosa will close.

2. Changes from morning to evening

After the sun rises in the morning, the leaves of the mimosa are open. When the sun sets at night, the outside light becomes weaker until it disappears completely, and the temperature drops, the leaves of the mimosa will begin to close. This refers to normal circumstances. If it rains that day, the leaves of the mimosa will be in a self-protection state and will not stretch out its leaves.

3. The role of Mimosa

Ornamental effect: The leaves of mimosa are green in color and feather-like, and they will become more closed when exposed to external stimuli. Its flowers are relatively small, light pink in color, and beautiful in shape, like a small ball of fluff. Its branches and leaves have good ornamental effect.

Predictive effect: Mimosa usually opens during the day or on sunny days and closes at night or on rainy days. The weather can be predicted by observing its leaves, and if the opening and closing of its leaves are abnormal, it indicates that an earthquake may be coming.
