Are you still looking for this? I have a few seeds left over - I traded for some, only needed a few, so you can have the leftovers for postage if you want.

Hi Resuki, Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) is commonly called sensitive plant because the foliage closes and droops at the slightest touch. It is also sensitive to improper care. Bright indirect sunlight with some early or late day direct sun is good. Keep temps above 60 degrees. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not constantly wet; water when the surface of the soil feels dry. It also should be pruned or pinched back regularly to encourage branching and to keep it full and to prevent legginess. Spider mites can destroy it quickly. This is not a particularly hardy plant. It grows quickly from seed, but it loses its sensitivity and doesn't seem to last for more than a year or so. It is more of a novelty plant - kids love it. Good luck with yours. BTW, The reason the leaves fold down when touched is so that the plant can protect itself from predators. As the fronds fold down, the sharp thorns are exposed, thereby discouraging animals from eating them. Whatever the physiological mechanism is, it is sensitive enough that it also closes the leaves in response to strong sun, wind and rain. Will Creed, Indoor Landscaper

Here's my 2¢: I sowed these as an indoor plant this winter. It's in a 4" pot, and has got to be THE slowest growing plant I've ever seen. It's still only a couple inches tall, and although nice form to the leaves & 'functions' like it's supposed to, it simply doesn't get big. What's up with that??? One good thing I have to point out is it does have a good comeback reputation- my cat ate what little was there, and it has grown back. A couple times I've wanted to heave it, but it's my DS's plant, so I leave it be. Maybe soon it'll grow.
