Description

Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) 9cm from Javado

Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica), also commonly known as shy plant, is a creeping shrub or short-lived perennial known for its delicate purple pompom flowers and intriguing leaf movement.
The leaves of a sensitive plant are lined with tiny hairs that are highly responsive to touch, temperature, and motion, folding inwards when triggered.

The plant also closes its leaves at night.
This response, called thigmomorphogenesis, is part of the plant’s natural defense mechanism.
Sensitive plant grows best in full sunlight, well-draining and acidic soil, and temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Features:
Give this plant plenty of bright sunshine indoors or outdoors
Plant in well-draining, loamy soil for proper root growth
Water to keep soil moist, but never soggy
Reduce watering in the winter for indoor-sensitive plants
Keep temperatures indoors or outdoors between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for best results
Pot size: 9cm
