Common Questions
Do I need to prune my mimosa plant?
To keep your plant full and bushy rather than leggy you will need to prune it. You can prune any time of year to keep your plant looking its best.
My plants are not blooming, what is wrong?
The most common reason for anemic blooming is lack of sunlight. Try moving to a sunny location if outdoors or supplement your indoor plant with artificial lighting. Lack of can also be caused by extreme temperatures. These plants do best when kept at a consistent temperature of 65-75 degrees.
My indoor plants are declining quickly, what can I do?
It can be surprising how quickly mimosa plants decline after blooming when grown indoors. This is normal and there isn’t anything to be done unfortunately.
My mimosa plants have leggy stems, is this normal?
If your plants are leggy having a lot of stems with little foliage this is a response to lack of sunlight. Make sure your mimosa is getting a minimum of 8 hours of sunlight per day. Prune back stems often to keep plant looking bushy and full.
