What is a TickleMe Plant?
Native to Brazil, they can be found there, growing in the wild. The scientific name for the TickleMe Plant is Mimosa pudica.
"You simply plant the seeds in one of our growing kits or a flower pot with soil, water it and the plants will sprout in days," says Larry Chipkin. Two weeks later, you can tickle this very sensitive plant and watch in amazement as the plant closes its leaves and lowers its branches. Then, usually, within 15 minutes, it lifts its fernlike branches and re-opens its leaves.
