For the sensitive type (this plant can be very shy)!
The mimosa pudica or sensitive mimosa is a plant native to Louisiana. It's special in that it shies away when touched!
Its small pink flowers grow like pompoms!
What it contains
Terracotta pot 8 cm in diameter
Terracotta dish 8 cm in diameter
6 cm coconut husk soil to rehydrate
Sensitive mimosa seeds
English instructions
Sow it indoors, and keep it well watered (it's very thirsty!) You'll have loads of leaves in no time!
Do not touch the young leaves too much as you risk damaging the plant. Wait until the plant has several fully-grown leaves.
