The media could not be loaded. Edit: update with new pics. This guy is a beast! I have him at work and he’s a prolific grower. Very easy to take care of, and a drama queen! Everyone loves it. Especially when we come from the weekend and it’s drooping and being dramatic. Fun stuff!I first discovered this type of plant when I was a kid. I grew up in Texas and they grow wild there. Since then, I’ve never forgotten these guys. Well, now I have one!The little dude arrived so fast!! Safely packaged and wrapped so the soil wouldn’t spill out of the container. He was closed up and dry so I just gave him a drink and left him alone— well made my partner do it. By the time I got home from work he was open and responsive.I’ve since repotted him. He’s survived and is thriving. I had him outside for a few days but he seems to prefer my window better. I am a little sad that after this plant blooms with flower it does, but it’s still worth the fun to me. Maybe it won’t bloom and I’ll have it for some time! Apparently they’re easy to grow from seed. I was a bit worried because it needs a more humid environment (and I seem to be a leafy plant killer), but my little dude is happy and thriving. It has lots of new growth. It puts itself to bed at night, and since I’ve been baby talking it up, doesn’t seem to be so “scared” of me, but I can still get a response with a good pet on the leaves.If you want this plant I’d say do it. It’ll tell you what it likes if you have a bit of intuition. I let it go too long without water (I’m used to succulents/cacti) and he let me know. It was practically like a cartoon—everything was just laying down in the pot. After a water it perked right back up. If it’s too dark it’ll close up. It’s such a cool plant. It also doesn’t need a lot of nutrients in the soil so if you’re one who doesn’t think to fertilize this might be a good choice.The specimen I got is healthy, growing, and still novel. It makes me smile every day. I also love that this greenhouse is in Wisconsin!! (Which could explain the fast arrival for me because I’m in Wisconsin as well.) It made me happier I was supporting a smaller greenhouse! (Well I dunno if it’s smaller actually because I’ve never seen it)I’d definitely look for this greenhouse and buy more plants from them. Maybe I’ll update with a video later.Thanks for the great plant and fulfilling the 12 year old child in me!

I ordered 4 plants for my son’s botanical experiment. 3 were dead on arrival. 1 is hanging by a thin mortal thread. I hope it lives so I can be happy that my $130+ is not going to waste.

A bought this plant because a long, long time ago a friend of mine had one of these. Touch it, and it recoils from you. Minutes later, it unrecoils.Old memories warmed me when I saw this plant available on Amazon and ordered it. When it arrived, every part of the plant fell off except for the main branches -- none of the sensitive leaves survived. Fortunately, the instructions provided stated that this would happen, and that you should not worry -- the sensitive leaves would grow back again. And they have. This plant is beautiful -- and sensitive!!! If you love oddball plants, this is definitely one that you will love!My 3 stars for giftable is just that you must tell the person that you are gifting this to what will happen. If you don't they will be shattered when they think the plant has died. If you do, and your friend waits for the sensitive plant to come back, they will be entranced with one of the most magic plants on this planet.

Came well shipped, the plant was droopy at first. Gave it some water and put it at our windowsill and perked right up! Beautiful dramatic plant!!

Beautiful and healthy little plant, and when I say little,... well, it's TINY! I have only had mine a week, though, and it's already sprouting new growth. I do think the price is inflated, as I've found other sources that offer a much bigger plant for much less. Minus one star for inflated price.

I can't believe how healthy these are and have grown like magic. Since I have a black thumb I never expect much but these are exciting to watch.

Much smaller than described, showed up after having been shipped in a regular box for over a week and appears to be mostly dead. Very disappointing gift for a friend, definitely would not recommend.

UPDATE: Seller contacted me and throughly apologized said the plant I received was the incorrect age and fixed the problem. Raising from 1 star to 3 for the seller proactively fixing the issue. Not sure what they would've shipped had it been the correct plant so I can't raise to 5 stars. This is a small plant, basically they took a plug plant or a seedling and shoved it into a 3" container. This is not a well established plant, and NOT worth the $26. Buy seeds and grow yourself. It will grow to this size in less than a month.
