Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica)

I had remembered these plants from when I was stationed in the Philippines years ago. They used to grow like weeds covering the ground. You could see your footprints in the closed leaves when you walked across a clearing. The plant was in perfect shape when I received it and then I almost killed it. I re-potted the plant and put it out in a sunny location next to our water garden. It was May in NH with the daytime temperature was in the 70's. However, during the night it dropped to 42 F and in the morning it looked like I tortured the poor plant. The tips of the leaves were actually dead. It never dawned on me the plant could be so cold intolerant because it is so indestructible in the Philippines. If I had read the nice care sheet Logee's puts out with each plant I would have known enough not to do what I did. The plant has recovered nicely with warmer weather. (Posted on 5/27/2015)

I've had mine for months now, and still can't get over how SENSITIVE it is. It is always reacting to air currents as people come in and out of my office. AND beautiful pink flowers (Posted on 9/17/2014)

I got my plant and transplanted it and it started to die. I chatted with the most helpful customer service rep and determined I had it in the wrong soil so it was being fertilized too often. I cant explain how helpful the rep was! I ordered many plants and they arrived healthy and are thriving! Will order all of my future hard to get plants through Logees!! (Posted on 7/21/2014)
