4" Pot Size

This plant will bring hours of entertainment to kids of any age. The Sensitive Plant actually moves when you touch its leaves. The fine leaflets open in the daylight, yet when touched will collapse downward. Give them an hour or so and they'll open again. As plants mature, it forms small, pink puffs of bloom adding an extra feature to this unique species. What a perfect way to introduce children to the world of plants!

Arrived in Good Conditioner

Really impressed with how good of a condition it arrived in considering the Texas heat this summer. Put it in the window and watered it that evening, and by morning its leaves were open and happy. Can't wait to show my students next year!

So much fun!

We have had a blast with this plant. The younger leaves are more "sensitive" than the older ones and it really gets active in bright light or gentle sunshine. At night all the leaves fold up and it looks like a Dr. Seuss plant. Just keep it away from the cats. :( :( Ours ate much if it when we accidentally left it in an accessible spot. We put it in a safe place and it is regrowing nicely, but it's definitely a cat snack if left unattended. Highly, highly recommend, especially for kids.

My order came in today, I watered my plant and set it in window. After a few hours it looks really great, it even has three pink flowers. Thank you so much, I am really happy with my plant.

Beautiful Plant

When I was teenager I had my first sensitive plant , I was unable to find it again for many years until I found this site online, I bought one and after a little while some of the leaves started to fall off, so I transplanted it to a bigger pot , misted it frequently, and spoke nicely to it, it has grown twice its size. it would be nice if there was a place to upload some of our pictures of the plants we purchase from here. we could e helpful to each other. mine hasn't flowered yet but I am sure it will
