As sensitive as the mimosa is in terms of care, it is all the less demanding in relation to the soil. It is particularly important that the mimosa soil is nice and loose so that the root ball does not get too wet. Which substrate is suitable for keeping mimosas as houseplants?
Mimosas are happy with simple garden soil
The right soil for the mimosa
Mimosa does well with simple compost-based garden soil. You can also loosen the substrate with some lava rock or coconut fibers.
The soil must be permeable to water so that the irrigation water cannot accumulate.
To ensure the supply of nutrients, fertilize the mimosa at two-week or monthly intervals. With young plants, however, fertilizing is not necessary, but rather harmful.
tips
Mimosas do not often suffer from diseases. Only waterlogging is a big problem. Therefore, create a drainage in the bottom of the pot so that the roots do not stand directly in the water.
