Mimosa pudica (Touch me not plant) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later.

This plant has healing properties through which the pain will subside easily. The touch-me-not plant comes useful to control excessive bleeding during menstruation.

Propagation

The sensitive plant is most often grown from seeds. Pink flowers produce seeds. Sow the seeds in moist peat moss and perlite, and place clear plastic above the planting medium, as seeds need a lot of moisture to sprout. Expect the seeds to sprout in 14 to 21 days. While it has a lot to offer as a houseplant, with its feathery compound leaves and pretty powder puff flowers, it’s the amazing leaf action that makes this tropical plant so intriguing: At the slightest touch, the leaflets will quickly close together!
