Have you eternally questioned why the famous "touch me not" plant is termed so? We will let you know this today. It is the most sensitive plant ever. This particular plant tends to have tiny green leaves that shut or shrink inwardly when someone touches them. They close immediately even with a tender touch. In Hindi, it is also known as Chui Mui Plant. We have all delighted in seeing it nod off; most likely considering what occurred inside the plant and maybe hanging tight with interest for it to reopen. Touch me not plant scientific name The botanical name of this plant is derived from the Latin word Pudica that means shy and that is why the touch me not plant is named Mimosa Pudica. However, there are many other names for this particular plant such as tickle me plant, sensitive plant, shy plant, humble plant and sleeping plant, etc. Cultivation The touch me not plant is generally cultivated as an indoor yearly plant, and once in a while as a groundcover. Proliferation is finished by seed mostly. It arises wholly in soil that is poor-nutrition that sanctions consistent water drainage and seepage. No matter how sensitive these plants are to touch, they can be planted as an indoor plant at home. Watering should be reduced during the season of winter. The touch me not flower looks the same as fluffy balls which are pink in colour, hence presenting them as alluring and attractive.
