Hi guys, this time I will give you a little information about the plant named daughter shy. Maybe you already know about the embarrassed daughter plant. The embarrassed daughter or Mimosa pudica is a short shoot of easily recognizable pods because the leaves can quickly close / wilt on their own as they are touched. Although some members of the legumes can do the same, the embarrassed daughter reacts faster than other types.

The phenomenon of the shame princess plant. This plant is very sensitive to stimulation, because when touched, heated, or blown will close the leaves.
This motion is called the seimonasti motion, which, though influenced by touch stimuli (tigmonation), for example the tigmonasti movement leaves the embarrassed daughter no matter from where the direction of touch comes. This plant also buds at sunset and rupture once the sun rises.

Embry daughter plant closes its leaves to protect itself from plant-eating animals (herbivores) who want to eat it. The color of the lower leaves of the embarrassed daughter's leaves is pale, showing a pale color, the animal that had wanted to eat this plant would think that the plant had withered and became no longer interested in eating it.

So my explanation about the leaves of shame princess may be useful for all of you.
Thanks.
