How to germinate mimosa pudica seeds

Hi, I got some Mimosa seeds coming, and i was wondering how to sprout them. I couldn't find much on growing them except that you soak them in warm water. I also read that once they're out of their seedling stage then they're really easy to grow. Do they need hight humidity? High light? Thank you!
 
Aye Cap'n! When I was a kid, my parents bought a sapling. didn't take long for it to be a tree. I collected the seed pods and just spread the seeds around a patch of land I had to my own. They germinated on there own rather easily. They flourished on Long Island.
 
is this the "sensitive plant"? i planted some of those 2 weeks ago, nothing special done to the seeds but i think they are fine cusine to one rather smart mouse i have yet to catch

But it only has one inch traps.
 
I planted some years ago outside in flats in topsoil/sand mix. They sprouted fine, but after a month, they all died. I had them in full sun.

Hey, is Mimosa pudica the "Sensitive Plant," (leaves close when you touch them) or the Mimosa tree (sometimes called the "Silk Tree")?

a certain person Did not ship my sEeds yet. so i hAven't beeN able to plant my seeds for my Cute plants. i hOpe they cOme quicK.
(I ordered some Mimosa Seeds and telegraph plants seeds and some sarrs.)
 
What I had was a tree with fern-like leaves and pink flowers. I have heard it referred to as sensitive - but it might be confused between two different plants.
