I recently introduced Olivia to this plant 🌱 Mimosa pudica or local known as putri malu. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken and re-open a few minutes later. It is well known for its rapid plant movement. #putrimalu #mimosa #mimosapudica #pudica | Wahyu Kinasih

Sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica, is named for its unique characteristic of curling up when touched. The fernlike leaves will curl inwards when disturbed. It’s purple fuzzy flowers make it an attractive houseplant, however, the plant contains alkaloids which are toxic to people and animals. | I Love Nature
