This plant MOVES and the leaves closes when you TICKLE IT! I couldn't believe my eyes! I don't have much of a green thumb but this came with easy instructions and soil pods that expand. Even that was cool. If you haven't grown a tickleme plant yet, don't wait another day. I love these plants and they are a real conversation piece. It's not only my favorite plant to grow but its so much fun to give to people and hear their reaction for the time they see the plant move. It's a real scienctific mystery how they move.
