Ticklish Plants!

At Bunch, we’re totally loving the Mimosa pudica, the ticklish plant!

These plants respond to your touch; pulling their leaves in as you trace your fingers along their stems.  They even fold up to go to sleep at night when the lights go out!

Taking care of a plant is a great opportunity for your bunch to learn about gardening and the responsibility of taking care of something.  Who knows, maybe your kids will impress you so much that they can graduate to something a little bit more intensive, like a dog (or a backyard chicken!)

They’re easy to grow, and the leaves start responding in about a month.  This is, hands down, the most cuddly and fun looking plant we’ve ever seen.

You can get your own pet TickleMe Plant here.  Or, ask your local garden centre for Mimosa pudica seeds.
