How to make mimosa grow lushly and how to trim it if it grows too tall

1. How to grow lush

1. Environmental temperature: Mimosa prefers a higher temperature growing environment. A warm environment can promote growth and make the growth faster. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth of the plant. Pay attention to maintaining a good temperature in winter, move it indoors in time, and keep the temperature above 10 degrees. If the indoor temperature is also low, you can put a plastic bag on the plant.

2. Adequate sunlight: If there is insufficient light for a long time, it will lead to slow growth and it will be difficult to grow lushly. It grows very fast, so it must be exposed to more sunlight and cannot be kept in a shady place. It should usually be placed in a sunny place indoors. If conditions permit, it can be kept outdoors in a well-lit place to expose the plant to more sunlight.

3. Pay attention to watering: If you do not water for a long time, the branches and leaves will lack water and dry up, affecting normal growth. During the growing season, you can keep the soil in the pot slightly moist and water it in time to maintain normal growth. However, be careful to control the amount of water you use so that water does not accumulate in the pot.

4. Fertilize regularly: Mimosa does not have too many requirements for fertilizer. It can be fertilized once every half a month during the growing period. The fertilizer should be diluted to avoid applying concentrated fertilizer.

2. How to trim if it grows too high

If the mimosa grows too tall, the entire plant needs to be pruned, removing overly long branches and then thinning the branches appropriately.
