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.
thank you
Wow sir u have given reply of all the comments👍 That's good
I love interacting with viewers :)
@@NoSweatGardening nice😊
I am a beekeeper, and the honey from Mimosa trees is very tasty.
wow nice info
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
Nice! I like the music too!
thank you
¡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
Thabk you for the tutorial i will be trying this my plant since my seeds failed me 😢
good luck :)
Gracias por enseñarme como hacerlo.👍🏻
de nada
I appreciate the the information, just a real quick question. Those bags, where did you leave them?? In the dark? Or just somewhere they would get normal amounts of light? I have one and want to clip a branch and make more.
not in the dark, just shaded area, not exposed to direct sunlight
@@NoSweatGardening sweet! Thanks a bunch!
@@browniesauce you're welcome :)
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
hi, I'm from indonesia nice to meet you
Excellent video! No water in the bag, right? When you planted them after they rooted, how much water do you give them?
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
In spring only or is summer ok, too?
Locally, they started dropping flowers about 3 days ago.
Great demo. Thanks.
you can propagate them like this during any season
@@NoSweatGardening thanks so much...subbed earlier, too
@@JoeandAngie thanks a lot :)
where do you keep the bags during those 3 weeks? And With light or no light?
in shaded area, it's okay to get some light, as long as not direct sunlight
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?
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 ua-cam.com/video/lef4FcXNauE/v-deo.html
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 !
yes, this method will dramatically increase the rate of success
Perche' la mia mimosa e' un po' ingiallita dopo la potatura?
I don't think it's because of the pruning, maybe lack of sunlight?
What time of the year is it best to do this? Spring/fall/summer?
hi, it grows well all year long, it's very weather resistant
Where we have to put that plastic
in shaded area
I cannot find clear bags that shape or similar.
Any ideas?
you van use any plastic bag, the principal is the same, I use a 2 kg plastic bag
@@NoSweatGardening yeah...the shape is eluding me...thanks
@@JoeandAngie 😁 you're welcome
hello! What time of year can it be done?
it can be done anytime, this plant is very very adaptive
How long do you need to wait
2 weeks
No sé habré nunca la bolsa? Cuánto tiempo más o menos
3 semanas
When planting in the plastic is the compost/soil wet?
no need to add water
Do you know what time of year this plant blooms?
all year long
@@NoSweatGardening Thank you so much! I hope to find some of this as I am reading of all of its medicinal benefits!
@@darlatobin2240 you're welcome
you didn't need to cover the square pan ?
no need, just place them on shaded area, it still needs indirect sunlight for photosynthesis
Is this the Acacia dealbata?
no, Mimosa Pudica
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.
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
I read that they prefer sandy soil
it can thrive in harsh environment with very little water
They grow in Missouri clay just fine.
Who are you?
You are like me.
