Few can resist touching the compound leaves of the sensitive plant and watching them fold up in response.

The sensitive plant is popular in cultivation around the world, and is enjoyed by many as a curiosity due to its highly touch-sensitive leaves. A stimulus, such as touch or air movement, triggers certain areas of the stem to release chemicals, which cause water to move out of cell vacuoles and leads to cell collapse. This rapid plant movement is thought to act as a defence against herbivores, which may be deterred by the dramatic response, or if they are small, may be dislodged as the leaves collapse.

These are amazing plants to add to your collection. I keep mind indoors in winter and in a dappled shade area in the summer (with protection). Super easy to germinate and grow - these seeds will come with detailed germination instructions to ensure your success. In this auction you will receive 10 seeds.

This is my ONLY auction of these seeds. Please don't think I post that to get bids - I am cleaning out my seed stash and everything must go!

Please remember I am a Canadian shipper. I cross the border weekly to mail packages - this allows me to continue to offer free shipping, but can add a day or two before I get to the post office. Please keep that in mind when bidding :). Feel free to post any questions you may have and feel free to check out all my other auctions!
