Mimosa pudica
Shy Plant
add a pot to fit this plant
The Shy Plant has delicate feathery fronds that fold inward when touched. The leaflets reopen in about half an hour and fold naturally each night.
Note: the opening and closing weakens the plant if it occurs too often.
Position in a bright spot and maintain moist soil conditions at all times – reduce watering in winter. Can sit in water during the growing period. Feed fortnightly in spring/summer and mist regularly.
Nursery Pot Size: 11cm
Height: 12cm
