Hi. I bought a sensitive plant (mimosa pudica) at the weekend and it
seems pretty potbound, so I would like to re-pot it. I don't know what
sort of soil it likes though, would ordinary houseplant compost do? There
is loads of much-the-same info on the internet about this plant but every
site I visit fails to mention the type of soil to use and my houseplant
book just says that re-potting isn't necessary!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the advice, Sacha and Nick! Have repotted in ordinary compost
and made sure it has good drainage.
