Fun, fascinating, and full of personality, the Sensitive Plant is a unique tropical curiosity that delights with its responsive foliage. Its delicate, fern-like leaves instantly fold inward at the lightest touch—earning it the nickname “touch-me-not.” This interactive behavior makes it a favorite for kids, collectors, and anyone looking to add a bit of magic to their plant collection.
