What to do if Mimosa doesn't bloom

Why doesn't mimosa bloom?

When growing mimosa, it sometimes does not bloom. The main reason for this may be improper lighting.

Mimosa needs appropriate light when it blooms. This is because Mimosa pudica is a plant that grows in tropical and subtropical regions and has short-day light conditions, so it can only bloom better under short-day conditions.

In addition, it may be due to insufficient nutrients. Because the plant does not have enough fertilizer, it is not able to bloom.

What to do if Mimosa doesn't bloom

First of all, when growing mimosa, you need to provide it with appropriate light. According to the growth habits of Mimosa, it needs to be provided with a short-day environment in order to make it bloom. Therefore, the sunshine time can be adjusted artificially to perform short-day treatment of 8 hours.

The second is to have appropriate nutrients. In order to prevent the mimosa from not blooming due to lack of nutrients, during the cultivation period, it is necessary to meet the growth needs of the mimosa, and be careful not to apply too much fertilizer to avoid the plant growing too tall.

Growth, flowering and maintenance of mimosa

In order to make the mimosa bloom better, it needs to be well maintained during its growth. Water once a day during the growing period and apply fertilizer once every half a month. The soil needs to be kept moist and rich. There should be sufficient light and the temperature should be kept at a relatively warm level.
