5They Move  Sep 14, 2009
By Katie Everett "State Slave"
Fast shipping. I have four happy plants growing right now with a ton of extra seeds. All seeds sprouted that I planted.

5Slow to grow, but very neat!  Jul 02, 2010
By A. Show
My husband and I first saw this (or a similar) plant while on a river raft on our honeymoon in Jamaica. They were huge and the guide called them "Shy Ladies". We tried 5 seeds and 4 came up. It's been a few months and they are now about 6-7 inches tall and very dainty. They are fun to touch and watch curl and bend--my husband thinks it's "mean" but I tell him it's good exercise for them :) They even flinch when water is sprayed on them! They also curl up each night at bedtime. I teach science and look forward to using them in class next year as we study adaptations.

5Keep your hands off!  Aug 06, 2010
By Thank You
The seeds easily germinated after soaking in water for 24 hours. I planted ten seeds and now have five seedlings. Problem is, you'll keep touching the first leaves that curl up until they fall off! I killed four seedlings because I had to poke at them whenever I passed them by. I recommend you set aside a few to do that with and just let the other ones grow! Besides that, a very easy grower.

5Sensitive plant seeds  Jun 22, 2010
By David A. Klein
Delivery was quick and the product was exactly as I expected. I've had great results germinating the seeds. I've planted 10 of them so far and 8 germinated. Good product from a good company. I highly recommend!
