Meet the Mimosa Pudica, a quirky yet delightful addition to your plant collection. This fascinating specimen, affectionately known as the Sensitive Plant, boasts leaves that can't resist a gentle touch. Watch in awe as they respond with rapid movements, adding a touch of interactive charm to your space. Come nightfall, the leaves gracefully fold, creating a captivating dance in response to darkness.


Hailing from Brazil, this beauty surprises with lilac-pink spherical flowers in midsummer, beautifully complementing its vibrant green leaves. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, the Mimosa Pudica stands at a manageable 1-2 ft. tall, making it an ideal houseplant or potted outdoor annual. Stick it by a sunny window, and you're in for a show.


Caring for this lively companion is straightforward—moderate watering from below and avoiding excessive handling will keep it thriving. With its fascinating features, the Mimosa Pudica is sure to capture attention. Give it a home, and let the natural theatrics unfold!


Main care requirements for growing a sensitive plant:

• Give this plant plenty of bright sunshine indoors or outdoors.

• Plant in well-draining, loamy soil for proper root growth.

• Keep temperatures indoors or outdoors between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for best results.

• Keep levels of indoor humidity on the higher side for this plant and only grow it in the ground (with caution) in tropical or subtropical climates.

~ planting ~


Growing Mimosa Pudica from flower seed is not difficult, but germination can be erratic.

• To soften the hard coating on these seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak in hot water for 5 hours to overnight.

• Press the Mimosa Pudica seeds into the soil and BARELY cover with soil. Kept at 75° F., germination is in 10-40 days.

• Light is required for germination. Bottom heat of 75° F aids germination.

• Keep the flower seed moist (not soggy!) until germination. Covering with clear plastic can help to hold in the moisture, but remove the plastic as soon as there is a sprout.

• Transfer Mimosa seedlings into 3 in. pots once large enough to handle.


(*After scarification, some also choose to stratify by mixing the seeds with moist sand and storing in the refrigerator for 15-20 days before planting.)


~ growing ~


• Water seedlings occasionally until they become established; mature plants grow best in fairly dry soil and do well in drought, sand, and poor soil. This plant will self-seed unless cut back after flowering has finished. These flowers attract butterflies and bees.


• Best watered at ground level to avoid “tripping” the leaves.


~ cut flowers ~


Not recommended.


~ seed saving ~


• As the seed pods develop, watch them carefully; they eventually explode and expel their seeds. Collect the pods as soon as they begin to dry. Spread them out away from direct sunlight, covering them lightly to contain the seed as the pods explode. Separate the seed from the pods, and store the seed in a cool dry place.


What is the Science behind the leaf movement?


• The part of the leaf that causes the movement is called the pulvinus, a cluster of gatekeeper cells at the base of each leaflet and the leaf itself.

• The pulvinus is composed of two types of cells, a flexible strand of cells that functions like a hinge and a group of cells above and below the hinge that can gain or lose water rapidly.

• The response begins when leaves are disturbed – by touch, heat, wind or feeding of an insect.

• An electrical signal is flashed to the pulvinus and the cells on the underside of the hinge deflate while the upper ones engorge with water. This is done by the rapid loss of potassium and chlorine ions from the lower cells and a rapid uptake of calcium ions in the upper cells.

Durable chew toy that keeps my puppy engaged
Size: X-Small, Color: Tangerine, Size: X-Small, Color: Tangerine
My dog went crazy for this toy the second I gave it to him. He is an 8-month-old 7.5 pound Yorkie puppy, an aggressive chewer on the tail end of teething. He has shown no mercy to this toy and yet there’s not a dent in it. That’s why I got it because the material holds up to aggressive chewing. My puppy has confirmed that! It keeps him entertained for a long time. It’s small enough to fit in his mouth for chewing but not so small that he would choke. He loves to sit on the couch but is too young to jump off. This toy keeps him entertained on the couch for a long time so he stays put. He is totally focused on the toy. It is the perfect toy for a bored chewer. Works really well. And it’s super easy to clean. Because it’s such a small toy, I’m only letting him use it when I’m nearby to supervise. But it has really held up to those busy teeth and Yorkie jaw. It’s hard to find a durable toy that also holds his interest. This seems to check all the boxes. I didn’t even have to coat it with a treat taste to draw his interest. I think the bone shape is very functional and attractive for him. He can go a solid 30 minutes chewing on it without getting bored or distracted, and that’s a long time for a Yorkie puppy. I got this toy because I noticed he wanted to chew, but I was tired of other toys that came apart. This one seems like the right durable choice.

Best it for dogs that destroy all other toys
Size: Large, Color: Granny Smith
We bought his it for our dog in 2020 when we rescued her. She has literally destroyed every single toy she has within minutes of giving them to her, but not this toy. It has lasted almost 6 years. It finally started to tear in the center so we bought her another one. Honestly it probably broke from my kids playing tug of war with her and they toy and that’s not really what it’s designed for. I’d rate this a 10/10. It’s quality but no so hard she’ll hurt her teeth.

Finally an all-purpose toy that doesn’t fall apart!
I thought there wasn’t a toy in the world that could withstand the craziness of our 95 lb German Shepherd, until I found this! It’s great for rolling, tugging, fetching, and chewing, soft enough rubber for his teeth yet so far solid enough to not fall apart. He’s had it for almost a month and I don’t see any rips, holes, or missing pieces. I don’t know if it floats since we use it in the house. And a HUGE bonus: IT DOESN’T SQUEAK. 🥳🥳🥳 We ordered a size Large and it’s a perfect fit. He loves to grab and carry it around when he’s excited, so it’s solid but not too heavy. Will definitely be checking out more toys from this brand. Thank you West Paw!

The BEST Chew Toy for Big Chewers that Come in Small Packages
Size: X-Small, Color: Granny Smith
The best toy I've found so far. I have a 4 pound toy poodle who is definitively a big chewer. He never rips up his stuffed toys but has worked his way through a huge amount of "tough" chew toys made for toy breeds. This one is tiers above the rest. Not a single piece is falling off, he LOVES it, and the teeth on rubber sound when he's chewing on it is really quite cute. It's hard, but not too hard, and the perfect fit for his little build. 10/10 I'd absolutely recommend.
