Mimosa pudica, commonly known as the Sensitive Plant or Touch-Me-Not, is a fascinating and unique perennial herb that hails from Central and South America but has become naturalized in many tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. This plant is celebrated for its intriguing behavioral adaptation, as its compound leaves are highly sensitive to touch or mechanical stimulation. When touched, the leaflets of the Mimosa pudica fold inward and droop, a response thought to be a defense mechanism against herbivores. The leaves are pinnately compound, with a feathery appearance, and they usually have a pale green color. Mimosa pudica produces small, globe-shaped, pink or lavender flowers that emerge from fluffy, ball-like clusters. Beyond its captivating sensitivity, it has a reputation for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine, being used for its purported anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities. Additionally, it is often cultivated as an ornamental plant and is enjoyed as a novelty in gardens and educational settings due to its distinctive behavior.  Zones 9-11

Germination

Germinating Mimosa pudica seeds can be a rewarding and educational experience. Start by scarifying the seeds to help break their hard seed coat, enhancing germination. You can scarify them by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking them with a knife. Next, soak the scarified seeds in warm water for about 24 hours to further soften the seed coat. Prepare a seed tray or pots filled with a well-draining potting mix, which may contain a combination of peat moss, perlite, or vermiculite. Plant the treated seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil, spacing them apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as Mimosa pudica seeds are sensitive to excessive moisture. Place the seed tray or pots in a warm, well-lit location, such as a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill. Germination can be variable and may take several weeks to a few months. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, you can transplant them into individual pots or your garden. Enjoy observing the fascinating leaf-folding response as your Mimosa pudica plants grow.

Great for tall, slender teenager!
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey, Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Finding a suit for a tall, slender teenage boy is about as hard as climbing Mt. Everest. Until I found this one!! I was so pleasantly surprised that this suit fit my 15 year old son like a glove. He is 5'10'' and 140 lbs so he needs pants with the proper length and smaller waist. While the waist was slightly big, he didn't need a belt and the pants fell perfectly with a pair of Nike tennis shoes. I ordered a size small and would say the pants were a 32x32 but waist was probably more like a 31. Jacket and vest were a great fit as well. High quality and easy to steam to get the shipping wrinkles out.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank
