The most common care mistake for mimosas is watering. Either the plant is watered too often or too little. How to water a mimosa correctly and what do you have to pay attention to?
How do I water a mimosa correctly?
To water a mimosa properly, you should only water when the surface of the soil has dried. Use soft, lime-free water such as rainwater and avoid waterlogging by pouring off excess water. Additionally, water bowls can increase humidity.
Water mimosa with sensitivity
Mimosa plants neither tolerate complete dryness nor do they tolerate too much moisture.
So pour a mimosa with great sensitivity. The plant is only watered when the surface of the soil has dried. Do the finger test! Pour water out of the planter or saucer immediately to prevent waterlogging.
Use soft water for watering, because the mimosa does not tolerate hard water. Rainwater is best suited for watering mimosa.
Tip
Mimosa needs sufficient humidity. This can be a problem, especially in winter, as dry air causes an infestation of spider mites. Increase humidity by placing water bowls.
