Interactive, Quirky, and Surprisingly Easy to Love

The Mimosa pudica, also known as the Sensitive Plant or Shame Plant, is a fascinating little houseplant with a big personality. Touch its fern-like leaves and watch them fold inward — a natural response that never fails to spark wonder.

Sold in a 4-inch container, this tropical curiosity is a fun, pet-safe addition to your indoor collection. Perfect for windowsills or desks, it’s the kind of plant that invites interaction and attention. Despite its delicate look, it’s tougher than it seems — and with proper care, it thrives.

Light: Bright, indirect (some morning sun is okay)
Water: Keep soil evenly moist; avoid waterlogging
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%)
Temperature: Warm, tropical temps above 60°F
Mature Size: Small and compact with fern-like foliage
Soil: Well-draining potting mix with added sand/perlite
Container: 4-inch nursery pot
Fun Fact: Its leaf-folding reaction is called “thigmonasty” — a built-in defense mechanism!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Nancy U.

I love gardening, but I’ve never been confident about designing a flower pot arrangement. Joy stepped up to the plate and helped me create a beautiful arrangement for my front door. She helped me learn about the techniques and was mindful of the outdoor environment that I was dealing with so that the plants o selected would survive and the existing conditions. She was awesome

Sky M.

Gorgeous place! So many beautiful plants, pots and pets! The staff was lovely and we left with a beautiful plant. Can't wait to come back!

Matt T.

We love visiting the Gardener's Center and have done so for years. Recently they installed a kid's activity area with a sluice box. My kids (9, 7, 3) panned for gems and stones in the sluice box then cracked open a Geode. Very cool. The birds and pup are always a big hit too. Thanks Kris and team!

The best plant-buying experience I’ve ever had! Joy was such a pleasure to consult with regarding our first plant for our new home. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable with all of our questions. I will most definitely be back at The Gardener’s Center and am so grateful that we decided to come here.

Just recently moved to Connecticut and was looking for my new favorite plant and garden shop. This is the one! It's laid out so well, the prices are very reasonable, and the staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable! Joy and Michelle were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with.
