FREE: Mimosa Pudica ("Touchy Plant"), 30 seeds

The listing, Mimosa Pudica ("Touchy Plant"), 30 seeds has ended.

This auction is for approximately 30 mimosa pudica seeds.

Mimosa pudica, also called Sensitive Plant, is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, re-opening minutes later. The species is native to South America and Central America.

This is a pantropical weed but in nontropical regions, this plant is most often grown as a potted indoor plant, but thrives outdoors in warmer zones. Easy to germinate and maintain, grows fast, and blooms in little pink puffball blossoms.

If you've never seen a mimosa pudica plant react to touch, I suggest searching youtube for some videos. It's quite interesting to see a plant react so quickly and dramatically.
