The shy princess flower or also known scientifically as "Mimosa pudica" is one of the alluring and interesting wild plants, its unique leaves and beautiful flowers are able to amaze everyone when they see them, if you touch the shy princess leaf, it will immediately bloom to cover oneself as if the leaves of a shy princess don't want to be touched by anyone.

According to historical records, this wild plant originates from South America, but now you can find the shy princess plant wherever you are and especially in our city which has a tropical climate, you can find this wild plant on footpaths, rice field borders, roadsides, gardens and they even often grow in people's yards which are rarely eradicated, this plant usually grows by climbing upwards and the sharp thorns can injure feet if children play without using mats, therefore you need to be careful when near the wild plants of the embarrassed princess.

On the other hand, the Putri Malu plant not only has beautiful flowers, but this plant has benefits for human health, meaning that if you open a traditional medicine book you will find the name of this plant and it is usually written in a different language, for example for our city the plant This is called "pih mie" so if you open a medical book and find that word then you will be directed to the wild plant mimosa pudica.

However, if you want to plant the Maluku plant for medicinal purposes or to get beautiful flowers then you need to plant it in a place that is difficult for children to reach, as I said above the Maluku plant has sharp thorns on all parts of the stem which can easily injure anyone's skin, so you need to be careful if you want to plant this plant.
