A Day Full of Movement in The Life of a Mimosa Pudica (Time Lapse)

Mimosa Pudica Time Lapse - A Day Full of Movement in The Life of a Mimosa Pudica

1 day of Mimosa Pudica plant time lapse (sensitive plant/touch-me-not/ shameplant time lapse) in 4k. Once every 2 seconds, a picture was taken. Overall 43200 pictures have been used for this mimosa plant time lapse. The Mimosa Pudica has been grown under a 150W plant lamp with 24 hours light. All individual images were edited afterward with Davinci Resolve.

At the beginning of the video, the Mimosa Pudica moves a lot, as the light was switched on at this point. After that, the plant folds in leaves by itself from time to time and unfolds them again afterward.

I would love it if you subscribe :)!

Further information about the Mimosa Pudica:
Mimosa pudica (from Latin: pudica "shy, bashful or shrinking"; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, shameplant) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The species is native to South and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed, and can now be found in the Southern United States, South Asia, East Asia, Micronesia, Australia and South Africa as well. It is not shade tolerant, and is primarily found on soils with low nutrient concentrations.

Mimosa pudica is well known for its rapid plant movement. Like a number of other plant species, it undergoes changes in leaf orientation termed "sleep" or nyctinastic movement. The foliage closes during darkness and reopens in light.This was first studied by French scientist Jean-Jacques d'Ortous de Mairan. Due to Mimosa's unique response to touch, it became an ideal plant for many experiments regarding plant habituation and memory.
