Sensitive Plants

Ohhhh-she’s so sensitive, she’ll make you look good! Definitely one of my favorite plants!

Sensitive Plant, (Mimosa Pudica), also called Humble Plant, plant in the pea family (Fabaceae) that responds to touch and other stimulation, by rapidly closing it’s leaves and drooping. Sensitive Plants make great houseplants and are generally low-maintenance. They are characterized by delicate, fern-like leaves and light purple flowers that resemble small pom-poms. Young plants grow upwards, but over time develop more of a creeping habit.
