Meet the Mimosa Pudica, a quirky yet delightful addition to your plant collection. This fascinating specimen, affectionately known as the Sensitive Plant, boasts leaves that can't resist a gentle touch. Watch in awe as they respond with rapid movements, adding a touch of interactive charm to your space. Come nightfall, the leaves gracefully fold, creating a captivating dance in response to darkness.


Hailing from Brazil, this beauty surprises with lilac-pink spherical flowers in midsummer, beautifully complementing its vibrant green leaves. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, the Mimosa Pudica stands at a manageable 1-2 ft. tall, making it an ideal houseplant or potted outdoor annual. Stick it by a sunny window, and you're in for a show.


Caring for this lively companion is straightforward—moderate watering from below and avoiding excessive handling will keep it thriving. With its fascinating features, the Mimosa Pudica is sure to capture attention. Give it a home, and let the natural theatrics unfold!


Main care requirements for growing a sensitive plant:

• Give this plant plenty of bright sunshine indoors or outdoors.

• Plant in well-draining, loamy soil for proper root growth.

• Water to keep soil moist, but never soggy. Reduce watering in the winter for indoor sensitive plants.

• Keep temperatures indoors or outdoors between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for best results.

• Keep levels of indoor humidity on the higher side for this plant and only grow it in the ground (with caution) in tropical or subtropical climates.

~ planting ~


Growing Mimosa Pudica from flower seed is not difficult, but germination can be erratic.

• To soften the hard coating on these seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak in hot water for 5 hours to overnight.

• Press the Mimosa Pudica seeds into the soil and BARELY cover with soil. Kept at 75° F., germination is in 10-40 days.

• Light is required for germination. Bottom heat of 75° F aids germination.

• Keep the flower seed moist (not soggy!) until germination. Covering with clear plastic can help to hold in the moisture, but remove the plastic as soon as there is a sprout.

• Transfer Mimosa seedlings into 3 in. pots once large enough to handle.


(*After scarification, some also choose to stratify by mixing the seeds with moist sand and storing in the refrigerator for 15-20 days before planting.)


~ growing ~


• Water seedlings occasionally until they become established; mature plants grow best in fairly dry soil and do well in drought, sand, and poor soil. This plant will self-seed unless cut back after flowering has finished. These flowers attract butterflies and bees.


• Best watered at ground level to avoid “tripping” the leaves.


~ cut flowers ~


Not recommended.


~ seed saving ~


• As the seed pods develop, watch them carefully; they eventually explode and expel their seeds. Collect the pods as soon as they begin to dry. Spread them out away from direct sunlight, covering them lightly to contain the seed as the pods explode. Separate the seed from the pods, and store the seed in a cool dry place.


What is the Science behind the leaf movement?


• The part of the leaf that causes the movement is called the pulvinus, a cluster of gatekeeper cells at the base of each leaflet and the leaf itself.

• The pulvinus is composed of two types of cells, a flexible strand of cells that functions like a hinge and a group of cells above and below the hinge that can gain or lose water rapidly.

• The response begins when leaves are disturbed – by touch, heat, wind or feeding of an insect.

• An electrical signal is flashed to the pulvinus and the cells on the underside of the hinge deflate while the upper ones engorge with water. This is done by the rapid loss of potassium and chlorine ions from the lower cells and a rapid uptake of calcium ions in the upper cells.

Wonderful Body OIl
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I will give this a five star because of overall quality. Even though I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the fact that it stains my sheets after application if I put it on before bed, I really really love the overall quality. The smell is so delicious. It makes my skin so soft and supple-- Vaseline went all out and really was put a lot of thought in for the melanin-rich ladies. It is a great product, I just wish it did not stain so bad, and I wish it came in a bigger bottle. It is quite expensive in my opinion for the size, but it is worth every penny. It has a color similar to the color on the bottle, it is translucent with shimmery glitter all throughout the mixture and it has a great feel when you apply it to your skin. It rubs in like butter and is OH SO moisturizing. I highly recommend if you love feeling moisturized and every inch of you cared for with a body oil. Just don't put it on with a shower before you go to bed and lay down in your bed.

honestly, very conflicted
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
the pros: incredibly hydrating, absorbs quickly into the skin, the nozzle turns to lock, leaves me glowing, the price point is good, dispenser doesn't get clogged... the cons: it's not as sparkly/shimmery as i'd expect it. i expected more gold sparkle, i realized that i ended up super hydrated and moisturized with a spec of gold glitter here and there after application. the photos of the product are deceiving. there is an issue with the cap, it never stays on. overall: i do like it for the longetivity and how nice and moisturized it makes my skin feel, but i'll be searching for a product that has more sparkle/shimmer while being equally as hydrating. that's what i want!!

Holy Grail Moisturizer for Rosacea
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
In seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to weigh in as this is my favorite moisturizer. I have very dry, menopausal skin. Additionally, I have rosacea which seems to have been a nice gift from said menopause (you can only laugh, right?). It's very common for those of us in our 50's to have a compromised skin barrier and when an issue like rosacea is present, even more so. Because of all this my skin is very intolerant to most moisturizers and nearly all actives (over the last few years I've had to discontinue my retinols and chemical exfoliators). While ingredients like ALA's, petrolatum, mineral oil, parafin/bees wax, and lanolin are well tolerated and known to be quite soothing, they don't hydrate very well as they are more occlusive than moisturizing. Enter this product. Magically, it does both! It's marketed as a protective cream, which again implies occlusive, but it penetrates like no other. Gone is the tight, dry feeling that persisted even when I had a heavy layer of product on my skin (my previous moisturizer was Eucerin Original Healing Cream -- which still has its uses -- because it was the only thing I could put on my skin outside of squalane oil during a flare). Now, no topical can cure rosacea. However, the right product can calm the skin, repair the damaged lipid barrier, and improve its appearance. This moisturizer does just that and it's become my holy grail. Since starting this I've also added in the Cicalfate Serum which has only aided in repairing my skin. Another Avene product that works great for me is the XeraCalm Balm which helps with itching. I use all three of these daily and they've really helped fix the secondary issues that come with rosacea. As for the complaints about it being greasy or too heavy. I can see this not working for people with normal or oily skin (or perhaps only in moderation). But my skin loves the heavier weight and because one of the ways I soothe a flare is to keep a tiny mister bottle on hand and repeatedly spray my face so I have to guard against the drying effects of evaporation. These products are so lipid heavy that I can wet my face all day long without worrying about that, though I do reapply throughout the day. As for the watery consistency issue, I haven't had that problem but it does caution on the packaging not to expose the product to temperatures below 41 degrees F (5 C). I suspect that if it gets too cold either because of the weather or because of whatever warehouse it sat in during transit it will separate. Maybe open the package and before squeezing some out look to see if it has split and then shake it up/message the tube. So, if you have skin like mine don't hesitate to try this product. I'm leaving this absurdly long review for my struggling brothers and sisters out there with rosacea in hopes that it provides some relief! Happy moisturizing, internet strangers. ;)
