Cultivating Mimosa Hostilis Indoors

Migrated topic.
Hello, time for another update :)

A few weeks ago, one of the plants started getting these red spots in the middle of the stem. Still trying to figure out what causes this.

The spots seem to eventually form a line, streaking down the stems and now the branches as well.

The lower, older sets of leaves are slowly yellowing before being shed off.

There even appears to be a small lesion near the base of the stalk.

Overall, the plant appears to be stronger than ever, growing nearly an inch in height each day. It also started branching a couple weeks ago as well.

I'm concerned because other mimosas around this age appear more woody before acquiring their red color. I've been reading about fusarium wilt which is a vascular disease that mimosas are especially susceptible to apparently. Some of the symptoms are similar, but I couldn't find any good pictures or a specific enough description to make an amateur diagnosis.

Could anyone with more gardening and/or mimosa experience enlighten me on what I'm seeing here? I think these could all be natural hostilis behaviors on their own but I'd like to be more confident in them.
 
Looking really good there icon ! I'll take some updated photos of mine tomorrow , I think they'll be fine icon but I do understand you're anxiety esp the time and effort in growing these gifts !:thumb_up:
 
Hello,
how it went eventually? I've soaked two seeds I ahve but there is no success in germination. Well I haven't tried hot water so I hope this will make a difference. Thank you for sharing your experience, I would really like to see how it went for past 2 years.

All the best to you.
 
Awesome thread!!! Id love to see some giant mimosa pics!! Got two good sized sprouts myself. Any updates???
