How do seeds germinate and grow into plants?

Seeds germinate when they absorb water and swell up, causing the outer shell to crack open. This allows the root to emerge and anchor the seed in the soil. The shoot then grows upward towards the sunlight, developing leaves for photosynthesis. As the plant continues to grow, it forms flowers and eventually produces seeds of its own, completing the cycle.


How many seeds does a mimosa have?

For Mimosa pudica (the houseplant), you must first soak the seeds in very hot (not boiling) water overnight. Only pick those seeds which have softened and swelled up, and sow any of them. (You can re-soak those which didn't swell up and try again.) Cover seeds lightly, firm down, and give bright sunlight and moist soil. It takes less than a week to germinate. If nothing happens in a week, soak more seeds and try again. They also might simply die after germination. Just try again with more seeds until you get a healthy seedling in the pot.
