The sensitive plant aka the shame plant
I grow these from seed. They’re a lot of fun to keep. Here is a video of what happens when you touch them.
Also called the touch-me-not plant
Any tips? Mine always look really nice and grow really well. For a while. Then start to drop leaflets and look like crap
Don’t let them dry out. Keep the conditions consistent. Don’t move them or turn them.
Makes sense. Woops
Wow! That’s so awesome, I had never heard of these. How long is it before they go back to normal after being touched?
It’s been years, but in my memory, a few minutes.
Poor little plant, so much energy used 😅
I just ordered a bunch of these seeds the other day! I’m excited to grow them
In Spanish we call them dormilonas (“sleepyheads”)
My grandmother had one. I’d play with it all the time.
