Product description
The Mimosa Pudica is a truly fascinating and highly interactive botanical specimen. It features delicate, bright fern-green leaves that dramatically fold inwards and droop downwards the moment they are physically touched or shaken.
While it is fun to touch the leaves, avoid doing it too often as it severely exhausts the plant's energy. Plant it in a rich, loamy, and well-draining potting mix, keep it in partial sun, and water it weekly to keep the soil continuously moist.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.
