The Mimosa pudica is one of the most astonishing plants there is.
Special feature: the leaves fold up at the slightest touch ! It only takes a few minutes for the plant to return to normal... Impressive! The hotter it is, the faster it is. Origin: South America Adult size: 1m to 1.5m
IMPORTANT - Upon receipt, the leaves of Mimosa pudica are all folded, giving the impression that the plant is in poor condition or puny. This is also the reason why it folds: not to be appetizing to predators! This is therefore a completely normal phenomenon, which denotes its strong reactivity to touch and shaking. In a short time, in good conditions, the foliage returns to its normal appearance. To recover well, the plant needs heat and humidity upon receipt (terrarium recommended).
