Hey y’all! I’ve got a question I think only a group of >40,000 people can answer! I’ve been doing research and none has been conclusive, I cant find if ONLY the Mimosa Pudica is touch-sensitive, or better phrased, if any other plants in the Mimosa genus will close when touched, I ask this because where I live (and I’ve also see in florida, the caribbean, and mexico) there is a tree that grows really tall and has Mimosa-like leaves but no research on it’s sensitivity to touch is available! I guess what I want to know is the touch sensitivity among plants in the Mimosa genus and if the plant I am thinking of even is Mimosa? I ask this because recently I took a seed pod and germinated successfully and the sprouts look EXACTLY like a Pidica’s emerging set of leaves, could anyone help???

    They only ones i know of, not in the mimosa family are the telegraph, Venus Flys, and bladderworts (Utricularia). I know not all mimosa are fast moving, but there are a few, and there are larger cultivars.

    My grandma has a mimosa and it slowly closes or moves away from touch
