Sensitive Plant: Care & Growing Guide

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
