Product Description

Sensitive Plant (Mimosa Pudica) - Start Mimosa Pudica seeds to grow this unique plant that will capture your attention and entertain you! This tropical plant responds to physical touch with seismonastic movements, and at night, the leaves will also fold and bend in movements known as nyctonastic movements that are a reaction to the darkness. At night, the leaves assume a folded or sleeping posture. When the plant is touched or in response to applying heat, the leaves can move very rapidly, and the plant can snap its leaves shut. The plant has many other names: Sleeping Grass, Prayer Plant, Humble Plant, and Touch Me Not. The Mimosa Pudica plant makes a nice house plant and can be grown in a bright, sunny window. The Mimosa Pudica Sensitive Plant has pink, silky flower and attractive, bright green leaves.

Average Germ Time: 5 - 10 days

Light Required: Yes

Depth: Plant the seeds 1/8 th inch deep

Sowing Rate: 2 - 3 seeds per plant

Growing Mimosa Pudica from flower seed is not difficult. It is recommend to soak the seeds 24 hours in water. Press the Mimosa Pudica seeds into the soil and lightly cover with 1/8 inch of soil.

Sensitive plant may be propagated by seed indoors any time of the year. Seeds are quite tough, and should be nicked with a knife to help improve germination success. Seeds may also be placed in hot water and soaked overnight. Place seeds in a moist soil medium, cover with a light sprinkle of soil and place in a warm, bright location. Seeds generally take about a week to germinate, according to Guide to Houseplants.

Good first plant for kids! And amateurs!

Good first plant for kids! And amateurs!
So my 9 year old wanted to grow a plant and since we needed an indoor plant that would grow in the middle of Chicago winter, I suggested this one. Plus she’d have fun interacting with it! Now I know nothing about plants or how to grow them other than my experience in grade school. No green thumb whatsoever, and my daughter has no experience either. We also don’t have soil, so vis a vis 2nd grade knowledge, we planted it in cotton as a temporary substitute.We relied on other Amazon reviewers and “prepped” the seeds. We decided to try 2 methods based on 2 reviews. We put some in boiling hot water and planted the ones that sank. And then we soaked the others (that didn’t sink) in hot water overnight and planted those in a seperate container. We had 4 containers in all, with a few seeds in each. It has been ONLY 5 days since then, and with regular sun and sprinkles of water, some of the seeds in ALL of the containers have started sprouting! I know it’s my kid’s project, but i’m so excited these worked out! Here’s to hoping they keep growing!
