Mimosa pudica, commonly known as the "Shame Plant" or "Sensitive Plant," is a fascinating and delicate species renowned for its unique ability to react to touch by folding its leaves. This tropical plant is native to Central and South America but has gained popularity worldwide due to its intriguing movement and easy care requirements. Despite its delicate appearance, Mimosa pudica is a resilient plant that can thrive in various environments with proper care.

Watering

Mimosa pudica prefers consistently moist soil, but it is important to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Water the plant regularly, especially during its growing season (spring and summer), ensuring the soil remains damp but not soggy. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows down, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions.

Light

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon, but too much direct light can scorch its leaves. Place the Mimosa pudica near a window with filtered sunlight to promote healthy growth. If grown indoors, rotating the plant occasionally will ensure even light exposure.

Temperature

Mimosa pudica is a tropical plant that thrives in warm temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be kept away from drafts, particularly during the winter. If the temperature drops below 60°F (16°C), the plant's growth may slow, and its leaves may start to droop.

Soil Mix

A well-draining soil mix is essential for Mimosa pudica. A blend of potting soil, sand, and perlite or vermiculite is ideal, as it ensures good aeration and prevents water from accumulating around the roots. The soil should retain some moisture without becoming compacted, allowing the plant's roots to breathe and grow effectively.

Humidity

Mimosa pudica prefers a humid environment, similar to its native tropical habitat. Aim to maintain humidity levels between 40% and 60%. If the air is too dry, the plant's leaves may turn brown at the edges. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, placing it on a humidity tray, or using a room humidifier.

Fertilizer

During the growing season, Mimosa pudica benefits from regular feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Fertilize the plant every two to four weeks in the spring and summer. Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant is dormant, as excess nutrients can cause fertilizer burn or stunt growth.

Toxicity

Mimosa pudica is considered non-toxic to humans and pets. However, it is still advisable to keep the plant out of reach of curious pets and small children. The plant's spines can be mildly irritating if touched, and its leaves, though non-toxic, are not suitable for consumption.


Caring for Mimosa pudica, the Shame Plant, is a rewarding experience, as this plant offers both beauty and interaction. With the right balance of water, light, temperature, and humidity, along with proper soil and feeding practices, Mimosa pudica can thrive in your home or garden. Whether you're drawn to its responsive nature or its delicate appearance, this plant is sure to be a conversation starter and a delightful addition to your collection.

Excellent sound and function
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
We're very pleased with this unit. We use a 3.1 system in our TV area, stereo plus center channel and subwoofer. It's nice that this unit supports that. We get very nice imaging from this, and don't really miss the surround speakers. **We had to replace the old HDMI cables with new ones that could handle the larger bandwidth of 4K. If you're cables are 5-10 years old like ours, newer cables are required to carry a modern video signal. We like the Yamaha sound, and are able to EQ it easily to sound right for the room. I've used several receivers over the years of various brands. Yamaha consistently delivers good sound and reliable product. I've never had a Yamaha product fail and fewer than 15 years. There are other units out there with more gadgets and gizmos, bills and whistles, not to mention smoke and mirrors. We want a good sounding reliable unit that plays nice with all of our AV sources and TVs. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than this unit right here. If you get a good price on this, it's unbeatable. Sony, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz, etc. - they all make good units with signature sounds. If you aren't familiar with them, and If you can't listen to a bunch of stuff, buy this with confidence. Here's an unsolicited recommendation: high quality speakers will do more to improve your listening experience than any receiver. If you're looking for an upgrade, start with your front speakers.

Love my Yamahas
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
RX 385 replaces my much-loved 10 year old RX 375, which I inadvertently fried while experimenting. The 385 has some newer features, including bluetooth. The old model and this both use the handy YPAO function to tune the audio speakers' depth of field to the listening environment. It's a broadcast mic that you just plug into the front of the receiver for a few seconds to determine each speakers' distance from viewer. Kind of a sonic echo measurement of seating to speaker. It's a foolproof, remarkably clever, timesaving gizmo. The YPAO mic is absolutely included with this unit, looks like a little plastic cone. Also important to me, Yamaha has replaced the old spring clips for rear/side speakers, which are now the better screw and cap posts, as they have always been for the two front speakers. I recommend rocketfish HDMI 4k/8k cables to connect this receiver to your tv and to whatever other components you want, such as a bluray. Sound quality is excellent if your speakers are good. (I like KEFs.) Of course you may prefer wireless speakers, but I'm already committed to wired ones. I used rocktfish banana plugs to connect my speaker wires to the RX 385 receiver's speaker posts. Neat and clean. With a choice of 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center speaker, plus one coaxial plug in for a subwoofer, your movies and programs are going to sound far more detailed and staged than you'd get from the tv or a sound bar. It's a more immersive and compelling experience. (I use only 2 fronts and 2 rears and don't feel I'm missing anything.) Yamaha receivers and other components are my favorites: relatively inexpensive, well designed, solidly built, and not fussy to install. If you find yourself in a pickle there are a couple of helpful youtube videos. I find with the RX385 again that Yamaha does not disappoint me.

real time and energy saver, as well as $
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
If you have a set of LED lights that didn't come with a harness , you can't beat this for the price. By the time you figure in the cost of the parts ( wire, switch, crimps/connectors, not to mention a relay if you are using one) to hardwire a set of lights, let alone the time to assemble, this set up is cheaper by far. harness length is ample, you get a pair of pigtails with connectors for a pair of lights, the relay, switch, fuse block and fuse, and ring terminals for power all assembled for what a switch and some wire would cost. Made everything quick, cheap, and easy.

Great wiring harness for light installations.
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads, Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
This is a great wiring harness for LED lights. These come in one or two leads application. All that means is that they come ready for one or two lights, depending on your installation. The plug in connectors for each light comes with the set so that is a plus. I’ve attached a picture of the plug/connector for the lights so you can take a look at them. Although the relay is an “overkill” for low wattage LEDs, it’s OK to have it just in case you decide to change your lights for larger ones or halogens, in the future. In my case I will be using this harness in my motorcycle. It is very long for my need, which is great for cars, but too long for motorcycles since you have to remember that room/space is scarce in motorcycles. I ended up cutting the wires to my desired length and using heat shrink butt connectors and “glued” heat shrink covers for waterproofing the connection points. All in all these are great quality and I am very happy with them.
