Product description
The touch-me-not plant protects itself against herbivores by folding its leaves inward upon touching. Because the movement is so fast, it scares away the animals. The leaves also close during the night, or if it is very windy. The closure is induced by activated compounds that cause the water to diffuse from the cells, and therefore they lose their turgor (pressure on the cell wall) and collapse. The leaves need about 30 minutes to open again. The touch-me-not plant can be grown indoors in the windowsill, where the pot preferably always needs to stand in a saucer with water.Sowing description: Shortly pour hot water on the seeds, then let them soak for 12 hours in lukewarm water. Swollen seeds can be sown in sowing mix. Seeds that haven’t swollen need to be poured over with hot water and soaked another time. The sowing mix needs to be constantly moist, and can be covered with plastic foil or glass. Let the seeds germinate at 20-25 degC.

I bought these almost year ago. All seeds came out, grew, bloom, no problem. I was worried in winter due to low light and cold in house, but they all managed with grow light and place shaded from draft near heating, some had one or two leaves falling off, but nothing worse. I keep them rather moist. Not the soil specifically, but they stand above bowl with layer of water to maintain higher moisture in the air around the plants, i read somewhere they like it. BTW when i see some of their leaves get yellow and start drying out, I changed something on water and/or light schedule. So far they're growing strong and being fabulous :).
Erg leuk! Bijna alle zaadjes zijn uitgekomen .
Alleen de vraag wanneer ze uit de kas kunnen en in een eigen pot gezet kunnen worden?
Super simpel en altijd succes, van de 4 gezaaide planten heb ik er nu 4 kunnen laten kiemen
Na minder dan 2 weken kwamen de plantjes al op en ze zijn nu snel aan het groeien. Erg bij ermee!
