Sun Loving Mimosa Tree

The Mimosa tree loves sun and is very drought tolerant, which makes this plant ideal for growing indoors. This house plant folds its leaves under water stress when it gets hot and dry, preventing water loss and under severe conditions it will defoliate until the rains return.

This is a great warm climate plant for growing in your home. It really is a fun tree to grow indoors and I would recommend it as a bonsai for beginners or if this momosa tree plant is not quite what you are looking for see what other types of bonsai there is on our bonsai plants page.

A Mimosa bonsai can bloom throughout the year. Flowers are white with a white base, looking like white pom poms and are self-fertilizing, which is a rather neat tree feature. It takes about four months after the plant flowers for the long flattened pods to mature and loosen its seeds.

The Mimosa tree seeds have a hard coat which requires scarification (abrasion) and germination is usually 6-10 days after sowing.

The mimosa tree pictured here is 12 years old and stands about 18 inches tall. The size is right in the middle of being called a small house plant. If you would like to see another ideal house plant for dry climates look at this bonsai native to texas and parts of mexico – texas ebony tree.

House plant buying tips

So now that you have decided to buy online at a nursery you are given a few choices to consider:

• do you want a indoor house plants or an indoor tree for the home
• coniferous or deciduous meaning, do you want the leaves to fall off at times during the year or stay evergreen.
• do you want your plant to flower so it adds color to the room
• are you going to use it as an indoor plant for home decor
• maybe you need house plants low light requirements

You see finding the best house plant for you isn’t quite as simple as one thinks. You don’t want to keep coming back to the online nursery just to buy a plant that died because it wasn’t the right kind for you or the area you live in.

Luckily bonsai plants and trees are easy to grow plants and are ideal for using as home decor or as a table centerpiece. One note of concern here: if you have a plant on a table then you should have a humidity drip tray underneath it. This does several things at once: it saves the finish on your table and creates a proper growing environment. The average cost of a drip tray is around nine dollars.

Are  living in a home or apartment that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight because its in a shaded area? I would recommend that you look at the selection of  house plants low light growing.
