Know the Characteristics of Mimosa Pudica Plants!
This time I will show one type of plant that is widely spread on this earth, namely the Putri Malu Plant, that's how people in my country Indonesia call this plant or in scientific language Mimosa Pudica.
Mimosa Pudica is a leguminous plant in the form of short shrubs with leaves that quickly close when touched by the hand or in the wind, but only temporarily, after that they return to normal as before. In the scientific explanation, it is caused by a change in pressure on the leaf bones so that the stimulus is felt by other leaves that are not touched and also close themselves.
Actually, if you think about it, why did Mimosa Pudica wither away, then one of the logical reasons that all beings need protection in life is no exception Mimosa Pudica. These plants cover themselves to protect themselves from plant-eating animals so that their spines are a threat to herbivores who want to eat them. And not only that, the lower leaves show a pale color, animals that had wanted to eat this plant will think that the plant has withered so they are not interested in eating it.
Mimosa Pudica is a plant that buds at sunset and blooms again after sunrise. So it can be concluded about the chronology of the time I took the picture below!
