Description

The listing, Amaze Your Child-Exotic Moving Plant has ended.

This plant is famous for its movement of small, lateral leaflets at speeds rapid enough to be perceivable with the naked eye. This is a strategy to maximise light by tracking the sun. Each leaf is equipped with a hinge that permits it to be moved to receive more sunlight, but the weight of these leaves means the plant must expend a lot of energy in moving it. To optimise its movement, each large leaf has two small leaflets at its base. These move constantly along an elliptical path, sampling the intensity of sunlight, and directing the large leaf to the area of most intensity.

Amaze your children!!!! I will send you 4 seeds with growing instructions. Enjoy and have fun

WOW, this plant is absolutely amazing!!! I've never seen it before, either. I have ADD too; and it certainly fascinates me! I didn't know we can post a video with our auctions, so that was pretty cool, too. Have a great day. -EJ =)

It is tropical..can not be in 35 degree or lower. Likes moisture. I'm germinating my seeds now...can take 10 days to 3 months. I doubt it will take months. All my other seeds that I bought from this seller have germinated before or on the minimum time
