Care Instructions

😎 Light:
Touch-Me-Not plants (Mimosa pudica) thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but prolonged exposure to intense midday sun should be avoided to prevent leaf burn

💧 Water: Every 1-2 weeks
These plants prefer consistently moist soil. They need regular watering to keep the soil damp but not waterlogged. Allowing the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings can help prevent root rot.

The more light your plant gets, the more you'll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.

⛏️ Difficulty: Some care required

Touch-Me-Not plants are relatively easy to maintain, requiring moderate care with attention to their light and water needs.

🐩 Pets: Careful with pets

Mimosa pudica is generally non-toxic to pets, making it a safe addition to homes with animals.

Description

Touch me not

Mimosa pudica, In Latin pudica means shy or bashful. It is also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, shameplant and it is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The remarkable leaf motions of your new Mimosa pudica are called “nastic” movements. Nastic movement is the plants response to things like touch, heat, air motion, and shaking. And, since the leaves close up fast enough to observe in real-time, this ability is also referred to as “rapid plant movement.” The other plant besides Mimosa pudica that’s famous for its ability to move rapidly is the carnivorous Venus flytrap.
