welcome to mr. 151 Josh's YouTube channel what we're gonna look at today is a plant called the sensitive plant also known by a scientific name mimosa paducah the reason they called this plant the sensitive plant or it's got some other names like the prayer plant or the touch plant or the embarrased plant is because when you touch it it folds up it kind of if you touch just as leaves they fold up but if you touch it a little harder it totally bends down like that I got this plant on Amazon and I grew it indoors for the whole winter and they didn't do so good and once it got warmer I moved it outside to this pot and it went crazy it grew all these little flowers like that that's about the only one left right now but they were all over it and those flowers I believe pollinated it and it ended up growing all these seed packets little seed pod bundles all over it you can see there's there there's they're just all the way up the whole thing they're all over it they have little little spines on them but they don't hurt they're soft it's there it's kind of like like a soft soft kind cactus I guess you could say but what's really interesting is watching it move when you touch it it kind of just folds right up I think it's kind of cool you could get one off Amazon - they're really cheap and they're actually I guess a lot of people think that these plants are weeds and they don't really like them in a lot of places where they grow natively people pull them out and throw them away but I think it's kind of interesting we don't have anything like this where I live and I think it's kind of neat so I went ahead and got one and grew it now what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna shake the whole plant I'm gonna grab the pot and I'm gonna give it a little shake and you should be able to see the whole darn thing trying to give a quick wilt there they go they're all closing up pretty much all of them closed up now you may be you can see the spines a little better too that are all over it I need to prune it a little bit I think but anyway this is mr. 151 Josh's YouTube channel please comment rate and subscribe I'd be more than happy to answer any questions or you can tell me about your sensitive plant and yeah comments are appreciated please do subscribe though that is really appreciated and again thanks for watching today have a good day and we'll see you next time
