Your ?Touch Me Not? plant is going to live all by itself in the pot you give it ? and that?s how it likes it! Native to Central and South America, this fascinating, bashful plant quickly closes it leaves and droops when touched ? as if all it wants it some private time. Actually, it is believed that this reaction is a way for it to scare off hungry herbivores (plant eating animals) who might come sniffing around or insects that land on them, ready to munch. Though this plant, referred to by scientists as imosa Pudica, doesn?t seem to want much attention, you can certainly give it a beautiful place to live as you paint the pot it will call home
