Caring Tips

Watering

Touch me not plants are sensitive plants when it comes to the water content of the soil. They do not flourish in dry soil and quickly rot in wet, boggy ground. They require soil that has evenly distributed water content while not being waterlogged.

Light

Being a tropical plant, they like full direct sunlight, or at least plenty of light, for eight hours a day.

PLANT INFO

Mimosa pudica (from Latin: pudica "shy, bashful or shrinking"; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, shameplant is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. Mimosa pudica is well known for its rapid plant movement. Like a number of other plant species, it undergoes changes in leaf orientation termed "sleep" or nyctinastic movement.
