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
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 😅
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
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.
