is there any alternate use for this particular mimosa? i know there is supposed to be for others.

is this a true mimosa, part of the acacia family? this grows randomly all over our 9 acres.

i guess since it is considered a pest plant here, i was unsure as to why someone would go through the trouble of cultivating it inside. but i guess not everyone lives in an area where it grows with fervor.

You can, but i did it only twice and i have put soil mixed with coir, because is seems that coir alone killed some leaves or maybe other things but i believe is not good to put only coir alone. Next i will post a image with my mimosa pudica growing segments which will have seeds. Btw, none of my seeds that i found in the original soil are growing.
