Mimosa Pudica (Shameplant/ Skrikplantjie)
Experience the most interactive plant in nature. Known for folding its leaves at the slightest touch, these are perfect for kids or collectors. Sold in sets of 3 to ensure you get a lush, reactive display. Each plant is individually sleeved to ensure they arrive ready to 'dance' in your garden/home." Watch them "sleep" at night and react to your touch during the day. True to its common name, it gets a fright and promptly closes its leaves when touched. Can be grown indoors/outdoors, sporting dainty little pink flowers that readily seeds.
Because Mimosa pudica are incredibly delicate, we dont just "box" them, we individually armour them. The R15 Protective Packaging Fee (Per Plant): This small fee covers the specialized labour and materials required to custom-fit each plant into a recycled 2L clear-bottle "sleeve." This creates a rigid, protective micro-environment that:
Guards Foliage: Prevents the courier from crushing the fine fronds or sensitive leaves; Locks in Humidity: Acts as a mini-greenhouse during transit; Recycles: Gives a second life to plastic, keeping your purchase eco-friendly.
Don't be alarmed if your Mimosa arrives with its leaves tightly folded. This is its natural defense mechanism. Simply follow the Rehydration Soak (stand the pots in a saucer of water for approximately 45 mins) and place it in a bright, warm spot; it will 'wake up' and start reacting again within 24-48 hours.
How to Checkout:
As these are individual auction wins, please manually add R15.00 per plant to the "Additional Charges" or "Packaging" field at checkout when prompted. This ensures each plant gets its own protective sleeve for a 100% safe arrival. Thank you!
