Customers praised this unique tropical plant for its fascinating leaf-folding behavior, noting "it completely folds up its leaves at night." The plant arrived healthy with excellent packaging. Shoppers loved watching it "go to bed" and "wake up" daily. Some concerns: plant has a 1-2 year lifespan after flowering, and occasional cold heat packs during winter shipping.
- It really closes and opens its leaves. So darn cute! Love seeing it go to bed then wake up.
- We love watching the drama each day as the leaves close and branches fold like an umbrella!
- The leaves point toward the stars at night and lay flat when the Sun comes up.
Really funny little plant. Bought it a couple of months ago and it has since shot seeds all over the room multiple times. I'm attempting to grow the seeds but I'm not expecting any success :sweat_smile:
Its not really that sensitive, yet it does completely fold up its leaves at night which is fun to see.
It has joined the ranks of my Grow Tropical plants.
Carefully packaged. When I unwrapped it soon sprung to life. Love it thanks very happy
I've been looking for this plant for a while! It arrived in great condition, despite its sensitive nature. There're already a few seedlings (or weeds? Lol) on the soil surface, ready for the new cycle to begin!
This plant has been on my wishlist for a few years now and I finally treated myself and bought her! She is adorable and I love it when she folds up her leaves, it is so fascinating - I named her Heidi because she likes to hide away! Have a wonderful day everyone <3
Perked up within an hour of unboxing and is now happily perky under some of my larger plants so it doesn’t get burnt by the sun
Inspired by Amy at Perky plants and absolutely love it. Packing brilliant as normal. Popped in a jar with a light.
This is going to be my show stopper. Very nice.
Such a strange plant. It really closes and opens its leaves. Such a cute plant. Great packaging. I thought it might be unhappy when I opened it. But those leaves popped up quickly. So darn cute! Love seeing it “go to bed” then “wake up” for the next day.
Arrived safely. Very well packed with the heat pad I ordered. So far so good. I hope I don’t kill it. Living in Scotland will make it harder
Perfect condition. Healthy happy plant, and superbly packaged.

We love watching the drama each day as the leaves close and the branches fold in like an umbrella! So entertaining!! The flowers are there so hoping to cultivate a new baby from a seed or two!

Lovely plant. Still going strong weeks later.
I was so happy to receive this lovely plant, as it is difficult to source. It arrived superfast and in excellent condition.
We love your plants and one has a new leaf already. Great packaging and delivery.
You really need to tell people that this plant dies after flowering and will only last 1 to 2 years if well cared for :u1FAB4::woman-shrugging:
It looks like a miniature Palm tree. Love it!!
