Commonly known as the sensitive plant or touch-me-not.

Mimosa pudica is known for its rapid response to touch. When touched, shaken, or exposed to heat, the leaves fold inward, and the entire leaf can droop. This movement occurs within seconds, making it a popular plant for demonstrating plant sensitivity in educational settings.

Regular watering is necessary, but overwatering should be avoided. Mimosa pudica tolerates dry conditions better than soggy soil. The plant is relatively easy to grow, but can be frost-sensitive and requires protection from the cold.
